- MCFNeilQrew CaptainYes this is possible, (and this might rock a few peoples perception of QB security)
But the option of "May be viewed by" actually ONLY restricts what appears in the 'reports & charts' menu. Any user regardless of role can see the report if they have the url, report id, or just change their URL to a different qid.
So yes, just make that report only show in the menu for who you'd like, but the button to have a URL link to that report will work for anybody who has access to the app.
You can make a formula url, and just copy the report URL into the formula box. - MaryMaryQrew CadetSo I have done that. I made only the specific report viewable that I want them to see. I have the URL for the button specifically to that report. But, if I have the "Hide Table In Bar" checked on the User Interface tab under Roles, the button doesn't work. If I don't hide the table in the bar, then the button works. I don't want to show the table in the Table Bar.
- MCFNeilQrew CaptainWhat does the end of your link look like?
Like this: "?a=td"
or This: "?a=q&qid=1"
The first is a link to the table home page, the second is a link to the actual report.
**Edit**: The first wont work if you hide the table, but the second should work as long as they have permissions to view records in that table. - MaryMaryQrew CadetYes. That worked. Thanks so much!!
