| MRE User Profile Creation | Login/Join |
| Member |
We recently got a request for new users to be setup for Dashboard views and there are over 150 users needing fairly immediate access to various views. Is there a way to create profiles in bulk outside of the standard MR User Admin interface? WF 7.1.1 - RedHat Linux - Tomcat - SQL Server 2000 | ||

What I've done in the past is use MRE Web Services to do this. If you have the user's id's and names in a database (or file), you can run a series of 4 TABLE requests (1 per web service) that will set up the users account, set the password, assign the user a role, and finally add the user to a specific group. It would take a couple of hours to set it up, then you can reuse the same code anytime you have to add a new user.

The last company I was with did this in Oracle. We used a clerical person to set up the user ids in MRE giving the users access to all but a few financial domains. We set up multiple Oracle tables with user id, region, country, station and access level. If an individual had station access then all they could see was information for their station, if they had country level then they could see all the stations in that country, etc. Global level allowed users to see everything. We had a subroutine that hit the Oracle tables and all that would come up in the drop down lists were the level that the users was allowed to see. This was time consuming to set up, but by doing it this way when we added a new tab or dashboard the security was already set up.

As the above reply yes there are way to accomplish this. Just a few notes: the Web Services described above requires that you have purchase the WebFOCUS Web Enablement that allows you to use the WebFOCUS Web Services. that is really only way to automate the process if you are using the default repository (file based). If you are using an RDBMS as the repository then you could write your own scripts to insert/update the tables. If you are usign AD then you could write a VBS programto do this. and last if you are using LDAP then you would need to utilize an LDAP script supported by the LDAP provider. Hope these all help Scott  | |||

What is this option that you are talking about? "WebFOCUS Web Enablement" How would one know if you have it or not? Do you know the 4 letter code that it would be under? Have used WF 5.x, 7.x w/RC, BID, MR WAS 5.x/6.x AIX 5.3.0 | |||

It is actually called the WebFOCUS Web Services Enablement Option. It allows WebFOCUS content including Report Caster content (if you have Report Caster) to be published as a Web Service, so that other applications that want to talk via Web Service can call WebFOCUS/Report Caster. Scott | |||
