Report of Users Listed on 'Effective Policy' Page Possible Some Way Some How?

[David Briars]

On the 'Workspaces' page of the WebFOCUS portal I am: right clicking on a folder,  selecting 'security', and then selecting 'Effective policy',

I then can see a list of users in the middle of the 'Effective Policy' page:

 

Is there a way to get a list of those users in a report?  

I do see a 'report' button on this page, but it seems to give a report of the listed 'Privileges'.

Hi @David Briars there are 3 ways to get any information from the client repository. 

1. Connect directly to client repository database
2. Connect using webservices XML returned: https://<your server name>/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBFS1_action=TEST
3. Connect using the WebFOCUS client repository adapter

The 3 option is probably the easiest way to retrieve this information and there is a host of example fexes that the adapter generates.

Thank you for your suggestions, Clayton.  

I am working on option 2 in your list, using webservices.  

I can get the TEST page to render AOK:

 

I am not sure of my next step.

What button on the left side would give me all of the users with access to a particular workspace folder, and what would I need to enter in the attendant text boxes?  

Is this page documented in one of the manuals?  

Thanks again for your offer to assist.

As you can see below, I enter in the path and folder name in the IBFS_path text box, and click the 'listResUsers' button, and see only a SUCCESS return description, and no data:

Any ideas on where the data might be?

Oh... it is the 'listResGroups' action that I need to use, not the 'listResUsers'.  

Once I get the groups from 'listResGroups', I then get the users from the 'getUsersFromGroup' action. 

So, the RESTful Web Services Test Page is working fine for me.  

Looks like the 'Test Page' is documented in the 'Embedded Business Intelligence Users Guide'.  

Thank you again Clayton!

Pleasure @David Briars check out option 3 suggested above as well can do some really cool reports on the client repository
