Many a times we require the name of the person who logged into the Jasper Server and according to this information we are able to show/hide the elements on report, or simpley to log the user name we can use it.
So how to achieve this ?
We can create parameters in our report, with a specific name and datatype. Then these parameters will be automatically filled when the report is executed by JasperReports Server.
LoggedInUsername (java.lang.String), with no default value. Then, we can use $P{LoggedInUsername} in a text field, in a query, in a printWhenExpression, etc ...
This is a built in parameter which gets filled with the User Details when report is run on Jasper Server.
Note that the report if run in iReport, would get a null value. So for the correct results it is necessary that we deploy the report onto JasperServer.
Parameter Name | Type | Notes | |
LoggedInUser | User | Not usable in query input control, but is used as parameter to report | |
LoggedInUsername | String | Of logged in user | |
LoggedInUserFullName | String | Of logged in user | |
LoggedInUserEmailAddress | String | Of logged in user | |
LoggedInUserEnabled | Boolean | Is logged in user enabled? | |
LoggedInUserExternallyDefined | Boolean | Is logged in user externally defined? ie. authenticated externally | |
LoggedInUserTenantId | String | Of logged in user. Only relevant in Pro/Enterprise. | |
LoggedInUserRoles | Collection<string> | Current set of roles of logged in user. Useful for $X parameter | |
LoggedInUserAttributes | Map<string, string> | Not usable in query input control, but is used as parameter to report. Empty map if no attributes | |
LoggedInUserAttributeNames | Collection<string> | User profile attribute names. Useful for $X parameters. Empty collection if no attributes | |
LoggedInUserAttributeValues | Collection | - | |
LoggedInUserAttribute_<attribute name> | String | Attribute value for matched attribute name (like "att1") on the user. Empty string if no match. Only provided if defined in a query or as a report parameter. |
Using the above parameters we could easily get various important information which could help in defining the roles.
Happy Coding.!!
