Report builder and report models

Hi,

the database my app is using contains information from multiple user organisations, a sort of multi organisation database. I intend using the reprot builder to provide access to a user ine ach organisation. However the issue of who sees what info has popped up and i'm trying to think of a way to restict the user of report builder to only be able to see their own organisations information. This is a social services type application which is used by mutlitple service providers so organisations get twitchy about other organisations being able to see detailed client info. on the application the security stops this but at am a t a loss as to how to best restirct access to an organisation won client data.

any thoughts? is this somehting that can be configured through the reprt model and the report builder user account?

few ideas or advise would eb v helpful,

Are you using SQL Server as the back end?

Repot Models can have security rights assigned to different piece within the model. You can set up Perspectives and assigned users or roles to those perspectives. Or you can assign rights to individual folders. This can be done not through the report model (or the report server), but by opening the Report Model's Properties in SQL Server Management Studio.

Hope this helps.
