Hide AllTo control access to row-level data based on user permissions, you must create security filters and apply them to the model entities that you want to secure. Security filters can be based on LDAP or Active Directory, or you can create a custom security provider.
For information on creating custom security providers, please see the SDK documentation at Create a Custom Security Provider, or the sample in C:\ActiveReports 8 Server\SDK\ActiveTunes.SecurityProvider.
If you use LDAP or Active Directory, please see Using LDAP and Active Directory for Single Sign-On. If you have created a custom security provider, follow the steps below.
