The enclosed demo report will show how “password” column is displayed only when report executor is a “superuser”. User can export.zip and import it into JasperReports Server v5.5. The report is deployed under /public/Samples/Reports/ repository folder as “201._Sample_Report_with_Table_Column_Conditional_Display”. Users can run this report under superuser and non superuser to see the difference in its display. Users can also review the report design using iReport Designer Repository Navigator and/or Jasper Studio Jasperserver Explorer.
