Access List equivalent to Distribution File?
I'd like to be able to externally reference a report library access list the same way that a distribution file is called for a email-delivered caster request. We're on 5.3.3.

It seems like the access list is an equivalent to the email distribution list but not the distribution file. Please let me know if there is a workaround that would allow reference to a list that I build externally.

Thanks

I think, in a straight forward way it is not possible to dynamically reference a report library access list, because users in Access list have to be in UAS as Report Library users. And UAS users are not stored in tables, they are in htm files.

However, if you are using Realm driver , then you can write modify routines to Match/Merge Botlist, Botuprof, WF_MrUsers and Wf_usrGrptb tables. I am not sure whether IBI support this work around.

Good Luck!

I think it means User Administration Services, the User part of MRE.

Cheers.
