Restrict access to 'Save/Save As' button based on role in TIBCO JasperReports® Server

Request

There is a need to restrict access to 'Save/Save As' button based on user role in TIBCO JasperReports® Server.

Implementation

This would require some customization of JSP files. In short, you'll have to open this file:

WEB-INFjspmodulesviewReport 

and add to the top: 

<%@ taglib prefix="authz" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>

Then, search in that file for this line: 

<li class="leaf">
    <button id="fileOptions"
            class="button capsule mutton up first"
            title="<spring:message code="button.save"/>"
            disabled="true">
        <span class="wrap">
            <span class="icon">
            </span>
            <span class="indicator">
            </span>
        </span>
    </button>
</li>

and wrap this tag around it: 

<authz:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_MYROLE"> ... </authz:authorize>

Note that in the above example, ROLE_MYROLE is at the root level, not under an organization. If you want to use a role that is under an organization for your condition, you need to add this the organization name as part of the role, e.g.:

<authz:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_MYROLE|organization_1"> ... </authz:authorize>

Other Notes

This is only one specific use case of customizing access to menu items based on role.
