    Hi Rob/Chris

    Thank you for all your discussion about this. Yes we have Row-Level security implemented and currently what i have done to  make users happy is "Run as Recipient" at General section and in Recipients tab, added manually "Amar, Akbar, Anthony" full name.  This gives only their records to view for now (i.e. Amar will see 1 record, Akbar will see 1 record, Antony will see 1 record) . For time being, this is okie 

    But i know this wont help if i got 100's of users exists and trying to understand what should be my next step to ensure OBI sends the alert/mail to individual users with only their records

    Thank you

    You seem to have missed my whole point.

    "Run as" == an "Act As" == has user variables initialized == analysis can be filtered on xyz=nqsession.user!

    What you describe - added manually - is how it works.

    There is no standard means to automatically send to all users who exist using 'Run As Recipient' - other than encouraging them to self serve - the majority of the power of OBIEE is in interaction; drill down, personalisation, resort, repivot, etc etc; - flat externalised reports in whatever format lose that advantage and if we are talking of excel then also run the risk of users correcting corrupting the figures...

    Thanks Rob/Chris for your advices.

    I am marking Robert's detailed reply & Christian's initial reply (both of your reply's) as helpful. I hope it will not make any bias on marking the correct answer

    For the benefit of other users it wpuld still be good if one answer was "Correct". It renders the answer in green directly below the question rather then requiring the user to scroll and search.

    It's up to you to choose the one you felt was correct. Pretty sure neither Robert nor me care about the points. It's about helping other forum users find the right answer easily and quickly.

    You are correct, my motive is not the points, but I do care about justice - you gave the answer, I only gave minor aid in understanding it, if any answer is marked correct it should be yours.
