Re: [Summary-Talk] Use name/password limited sub-report list

[Bill_Royds@xxxxxxxxx]

I would like to be able to give anyone access to all the reports for that 
sub-domain (both Overviews and Reports) without a password, but not also 
give them access to  reports for another sub-domain.

You can get more or less this effect by giving each department a direct 
link to the sub-report they will be using. You can choose if you want to 
give them a link to the main page, report menu, or overview for the 
sub-report.

You can get almost exactly what you want by turning on either "Redirect 
the main page to the Report Menu" or "Redirect the main page to the 
Overview". Then they will be presented with a list of sub-reports right 
off, which will then take them to either the report menu or the overview 
depending on which option you turned on.

If you are using names/passwords they will be automatically redirected to 
the correct sub-report based on the name/password you enter (assuming 
that "Allow all access to sub-report list" is off).
