Security Functions

Using these functions in formulas, you can create conditional expressions on the current user viewing the report. Examples would be filtering records in the Record Selection Formula, hiding fields or sections, etc. depending on the WebUserName or Role of the current user viewing the report.
With the function FireAccessDenied it is possible to completely cancel the report execution if the current user is not logged in or if it is not a member of the specified roles (groups).

Within i-net Designer you can test these functions if the Report Permissions have been configured in the configuration used by i-net Designer and if a user name and/or role have been specified in the Designer Options dialog.

The following 3 functions are available in the node "Security Functions" of the Formula Editor:

• FireAccessDenied - stop the rendering of the report
• IsWebUserInRole - returns whether the current user is the member of a certain role
• WebUserName - the user name of the user currently logged in and viewing the report
