Password Protect output files sent within Agents

Description

Would like to be able to have password protection on documents sent through agents.  This functionality is able to be added to Reports, but not to Analysis or Dashboards currently.

Use Case and Business Need

This allows the sending of more sensitive data through the use of an agent.  For individuals that typically are not in the HCM solution on a regular basis, we would like to provide requested reports be delivered to them via an Agent.  Otherwise we would require the individuals login to HCM to run their reports, which isn't providing the service they have come to expect.

    Excellent, especially if it includes Excel!

    We have certain business groups that need data and an integration is not possible that is daily or weekly or even monthly. We have to manually run the report and then password protect and send to the user. It would be great to have the option to password protect a scheduled report that is exported to Excel. This would be a huge efficiency improvement for our company.

    Definitely needed for a while now.

    There is an alternative if we build a Report from Analysis, then one can password protect PDF and EXCEL o/p.

    Kind Regards
