Testing page-level security

Actuate BIRT Designer supports the simulation of secure report viewing, so that you can test page-level security without having to publish the report to iServer, log in with different user credentials, run the report and verify its output.

How to test page-level security

1	Make sure page-level security is enabled. This procedure is described earlier in this chapter.

2	Choose Run→View Report with Page Security, and select the output format in which to view the report.

3	In Run Report with Page Level Security, shown in Figure 23-10, type a security ID specified in an ACL. For example:

Sales Manager: France

Figure 23-10

Using a specified security ID

Choose OK. The report runs and displays only the page or pages that the specified security ID can view.

4	Repeat the previous step until you finish testing all the security IDs used in the report.
