Report Builder Security Filter Examples

Does anyone have any examples on how to use the security filters in
report builder models. Do you setup a standard filter. How do you pass
the user back to the server in the query?
ThanksI have the same type of question...I need to be able to pass parameters
(userid) back to my model due to security setup in our system...we have
several 'user-access' tables for varying levels of security. For
example, any given user has access to specific accounts, but only
certain members within that account and only specific coverages within
those members. I don't see how I can set this up using roles but
perhaps I'm just missing it.|||the getuserid() function can be used... but... reportbuilder keep in cache
the first user which access a filter object where the getuserid() function
is used!!!
so if an "administrator" try the model, then every other users use the same
access!!!
but using the getuserid() into reportbuilder himself (the user create a
report and explicitly setup a filter) then the ID used is the right one, but
its not a good solution.
I'll do some other tests and keep you informed.

shortly explaining how to use security filters.
FYI, the incorrect behavior of the GETUSERID() function is a known issue
that is fixed in SP1, which will be available shortly.

when SP1 is released), there is a tutorial that walks you through how to set
up security filters using the GetUserID().
