We are using Public dashboard with couple graphs and some reports links. I was wondering if any one has every tried to hide or show repots based of user role, group or any other attribute.

I realize that for these sorts of needs group profiles work. But It would be nice if there was a way to grant access, show, or hide contents at user level.

Well if it's a PUBLIC view, you dont have a user or a role so what would you base it on?

What you could do (and what we are actually doing in our project) is to "put" your html code of the public page (should also be possible with other output formats) into a fex using -HTMLFORM BEGIN ... END.
Those elements you might want to hide, you put into ampersand variables like:

]-* Read role block
-* E.G.
TABLE FILE MYROLES
SUM FST.ROLE
WHERE USER EQ &IBIMR_user.QUOTEDSTRING;
ON TABLE HOLD AS TMP FORMAT ALPHA
END
-READ &ROLE.A64
-* create 
-SET &MYELEM1=IF &ROLE EQ 'Admin' THEN '<iframe id="report1"...></iframe>" ELSE '';


These elements can then be added (or not) into your shown page

 -HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<body>
<!-- the following may be shown / or not depending on users role -->
!IBI.AMP.MYELEM1;
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END


Hope this gives an idea what I meant

Cheers
