What are you trying to accomplish?

On the Reporting Server there are Group Profiles that can be set to execute based on what groups the user is a part of.

e.g. If your Reporting Server is set to LDAP security, you can have a group profile that is executed based on what LDAP groups the user is a part of.

If you're talking about wanting a profile to execute based on the Managed Reporting Group a user is a part of, that might be possible with some WFS Scripting and putting the commands you want to execute in _siteprofile. I haven't tried that one yet, but I could look into it.

Thanks for the help.
I have active directory users accessing the reports. I have Webfocuse group called School Drector. When I created a group profile, I selected school director group. But My school director users are not able to log into group profile use the business intellegent dashboard link. What am i doing wrong? I followed the group profile instructions provided by ibi course 362.

When you say "Group Profile", do you actually mean a Dashboard "Group View"?

If you've created a Group View and a user is a member of the Manged Reporting group that the Group View as created for, it can be viewed after login to Dashboard under the "Views" link.

You can also launch a Group View directly using the following syntax:
http://techsupport.information...wbf/wbf_tcn_108.html

I believe there is also a way to have Group Views automatically launch when you login to Dashboard if you're only a member of one group, but I'd have to lookup or do some tests to verify.

If you were talking about "Group View", then all the information I gave prior does not apply.

A "Group Profile" is something that can be set on the Reporting Server side to set the APP PATH, or other settings/variables based on the Reporting Server groups that user is a part of in order to have those settings set with every report that is executed. This is completely separate from Managed Reporting/Dashboard.

Thanks for all the help.

When I created a Group profile, I selected School Director group for the group dashboard view.
Where do I confirm after the group view is created that group memebership still exist for the group dashboard?

It seems like we have to maually add users to the group profiles.

On the left-hand side, click on Manage Users Select the checkbox next to the user (IBIadmintest) and click on the Reassign button
From the dropdown list, choose the group view you want them to log into to (IBI_Center_director)
Select the checkbox next to "Replace User Content with View Content" and then click the Submit button.

Did you read WebFOCUS/iWay New Features > Dashboard > Logging On to Dashboard and View Inheritance?

quote:
In Version 7 Release 6.1, a new GoToPersonalViewOnLogin setting in the bid-config.xml file affects the way users log on to Dashboard and inherit views.

The following processing takes place when a user, who is not a Library Only User, logs on to Dashboard.

* First Time Logon to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=true)

Users who:
o Log on from the Business Intelligence Dashboard Login page, log on to their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the General Public view.
o Log on from a public view, log on to their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the public view from which they logged on.
o Log on by accessing a group view URL directly, log on to that group view and inherit the look and content of that group view as their own personal view.

For all of the above methods of logging on to Dashboard for the first time, the inherited view is copied to the user's folder created in the worp_users directory upon logon. Additionally, users who click the Views link have access to all of the group views accessible to them.
* Subsequent Logons to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=true)

Users with access to any number of, or no, group views are logged on to their own personal view.
* First Time Logon to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=false)

Users with:
o Access to no group views, log on from the Business Intelligence Dashboard Login page into their own personal view and inherit the look and content of the General Public View.
o Access to one group view, log on to that group view and inherit the look and content of that group view as their own personal view.
o Access to multiple group views, log on to a page displaying all of the group views accessible to them including a link to their My View. Clicking a group view from this page logs users on to the selected group view, and their own personal view inherits the look and content of that group view. Clicking the My View link logs users on to their own personal view which inherits the look and content of the General Public View.

Note: For users with access to multiple group views who log on from a public view, clicking the My View link logs users on to their own personal view which inherits the look and content of that public view.

For all of the above methods of logging on to Dashboard for the first time, the inherited view is copied to the user's folder created in the worp_users directory upon logon.
* Subsequent Logons to Dashboard (GoToPersonalViewOnLogin=false)

Users with:
o No group views, log on to their own personal view.
o One group view, log on to that group view.
o Multiple group views, log on to a page displaying all of the group views accessible to them.
