[CLOSED] I am trying to include my style sheet and having a security issue

Hopefully, a simple question. I include my own style sheet and when I go to a regular user the report throws an error saying it Cannot include resource specified. I would like this file to be accessible to all users. What do I need to turn on in security to allow the Include to be including?

thanks
Steve

First - make sure it's published

Second - Make sure the object is either inheriting or has the assigned group or permission.

Look at the permissions of your report or html and make the style sheet the same way.

Thanks Matt C I did as you said. Did not work this time either. I had already made sure it was published and was the same as fex that is calling it. Still same error. Yes I am on 8002M. The fex runs fine for admin user - no surprise there, just not for a regular user.

Any other suggestions?

Steve,
Without seeing your environment this would be hard to diagnose.

Did you use the WebFOCUS Resource Templates to get started?

Do you have the fex and STY file in the same or different folders.

As the admin you can right click on the STY file and either look at the Rules on Resource report under Security or Effective policy to begin troubleshooting. If you cannot figure it out please open a support case.

Regards,
Matthew

Hi Steve, I tested this in WF8004 and it works fine... I suggest you try the following and if it doesn't work for you in 8002M please open a case reporting the problem and repro steps I show below.
1. Create a new Domain using the Enterprise Domain templates (as an admin, right click the Content node and select New > Enteprise Domain.
2. Using Security Center, create a user and place them into the Domain's Advanced User subgroup.
3. Create a stylesheet in the Domain's hidden content subfolder and publish it.
4. Create a Standard Report in the Domain somewhere, referencing the stylesheet, and publish it.
5. Sign in as the Advanced User and run the report. In my testing with 8004 the report runs and the style is applied.
If this works for you in 8002M then look over your approach and compare it to the scenario I described here. Hope this helps.

Which browser you are getting this error?

I have the same issue while running the portal in Chrome or Firefox but it works well in IE.

Note: the message "Cannot include the resource specified" in this case doesn't necessarily mean there is a "security" problem. Stylesheet references in WF8 (for newly created reports, anyway) need to be fully qualified IBFS paths, like this:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
ON TABLE SET STYLE IBFS://WFC/Repository/Retail/Hidden_Content/carstyle.sty
END
