How-to: customize Search Results Filters on role based

Question:

How to customize View > Search Results Filters page to remove certain filter options on a per-role basis, for example to remove Schedule filters from everyone except for ROLE_SUPERUSER.

Answer:

NOTE: The solution requires config files modifications so make sure to backup the origin files metioned below

1. Edit WEB-INFjs.spring.properties by adding the line

   bean.scheduleFilter.SuperUserRoleAccessList=SuperUserRoleAccessList
   

   into #For SchedulerFilter and its options section, ~line 220

2. Edit WEB-INFapplicationContext-search-pro.xml file by adding the lines

   <util:list id="SuperUserRoleAccessList">
       <bean class="com.jaspersoft.ji.search.common.ProRoleAccess">
           <property name="roleName" value="ROLE_SUPERUSER"/>
           <property name="tenantId">
               <null/>
           </property>
       </bean>
   </util:list>
   

   somewhere after <util:list id="proRoleAccessListDefault"> list, ~line 30

3. Edit applicationContext-search.xml file, locate line

   <property name="roleAccessList" ref="${bean.scheduleFilter.RoleAccessList}"/>
   

   ~ 316 line no and modify it to

   <property name="roleAccessList" ref="${bean.scheduleFilter.SuperUserRoleAccessList}"/>
   

4. Save the changes and re-start JasperReports Server.

By these steps you create a new list of roles that should have access to Scheduled Filters and specify the list in Scheduled filters settings.
