Scheduler Permissions

[kc2519]

I am using JS 3.0, and have been unable to solve this. I would like to offer the ability to schedule reports to premium users, a group where I have added a ROLE_PREMIUM. I have successfully used this role to limit access to certain features and folders within JS, except for the Scheduler and Run in Background functions. I would like to give these users that ability without granting them full admin privileges. Is there a solution?

Thanks,

Ken

Hi,

 

You may refer to my blog at http://www.raj2u.net/jasperserver-installation-on-linux.html -> section "How-To". Basically what i did is,remove the scheduling function for all non-admin user. You can do the same way...

Thanks for the response Anandharaj. I already have authorization the same way - I would like second group I created (ROLE_PREMIUM) to have access to Scheduler; it works perfectly for ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR.

By the way - nice blog with helpful tips on JS. I love using the software.

OK - solved my own challenge. This one seems a bit strange.

I hide most or all of the icons from roles other than ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR, but I wanted access to Scheduler and Run in Background for a ROLE_PREMIUM I created. Unofrtunately, though ROLE_PREMIUM users could see the two icons, nothing happened when clicking either one...until I played around with unhiding some other icons, and then magically Scheduler and Run in Background suddenly work for ROLE_PREMIUM.

If anyone is interested, see the two attached files - the only difference is that when the two icons are the only ones displayed, they fail, but when I add others, even if they are inactive for the ROLE_PREMIUM users, the Scheduler and Run in Background features work properly. Would love to know why this happens, but at least everything is now working.
