Disable "edit/configure layout" in HTML5

Hi,

i was wondering if it is possible to disable the possibility for end users to modify the layouts and change axes and/or contents displayed in the HTML5 screens.

I know this is a valuable and important feature for some users, but the majority of the user base won't benefit from this feature and might end up "messing up" with reports.

Can you help us identify an option for this?

Thanks,

Hello,

it is possible to disable this feature from the Security Tab. You will need to access with an Administrator profile, edit the Security and define/create a User Security Profile with the "Deny layout designer" option checked. This will apply to all users which inherit this User Security Profile and will apply any device and interface used by these user.

(so if they use the Win Client or HTML5 interface they won't be able to edit layouts in either of them)

Hope this helped.

Regards,

Antonio

Hi,

We already had a discussion on this topic with BOARD support, the key point here is that very often, we need some reports to be configurable, and some others to be frozen.

We might need to freeze a specific report because of complexity, as you said, or because of security (there is a very specific filter in the report that must not be changed).

To do that, an option at the security profile level is too high, we would need to do it at layout level (just like the "disable drill down" option).
