[CLOSED] HTML Report - No Parameters or Buffer Spins

Dear All,
I run into accessibility issue of the HTML report. A user open HTML page (input for the parameters) but the page does not load fully with Parameters or sometimes a buffer just spins all the time.

Let me present the Security of WebFocus folder I have (see below for a sample). I have "xTEST" folder where a USER/GROUP has security as "ListAndRead" on the folder level. Then I want to give a user an access to "Sample_Report.html /fex" ONLY. In that case, on the HTML and FEX level of "Sample_Report" I setup security of the user/group as "DomainBasicUser". This setup allow a user/group access the Sample_Report only but HTML itself is not loading fully (parameters are not populated)

Interesting Test: If I change Folder Security of that user/group from "ListAndRead" to "DomainBasicUser", a Sample_Report runs fine and html is loading fully. Although that setup is not good for me since all the reports in the report are accessible to the user/group.

This happens only to defined groups, administrators can run that with no Problems.

Is anybody has tips for me on that? If I setup HTML to be "DomainBasicUser", it will not load fully if there is inherited "ListAndRead" setup from above folders...
---------------------------------------
xTEST
- Sample_Report.html
- Sample_Report.fex
- Other_Report.html
- Other_Report.fex
---------------------------------------
xTEST (ListAndRead)
- Sample_Report.html (DomainBasicUser)
- Sample_Report.fex (DomainBasicUser)
- Other_Report.html
- Other_Report.fex

Just a quick guess... Are the HTML page parameters populated by Dynamic External Procedures? If so, the security for these fexes ought to be the same as for the parameter page.
