1. From the View Builder, click Manage Users.
2. Select the user you want to edit content for and click Edit Content.

   The Content Window opens.

3. Edit content as necessary.
4. Click Manage Users to save changes and return to the Manage Users window.

Note: You can only edit content for one user at a time.

1. From the View Builder, click Manage Users.
2. Select one or more users to reassign their views.
3. Click Reassign.
4. Select the new view from the drop-down list.
5. If you want to replace user content with the content from the new view, select the Replace User Content with View Content check box.

   When you replace content, the users still have access to all of the domains (and the items in those domains) they are assigned to. Only Dashboard specific items, such as content pages and content blocks, are replaced. The Favorites and Recent lists of users are cleared when you select the Replace User Content with View Content check box.

6. Click Submit.

This procedure only removes the user from Dashboard, not Managed Reporting. If a user is logged on to Dashboard when you remove the user from Dashboard using the View Builder Manage Users page, a HTTP 500 error is displayed in the browser window. If the user logs on to Dashboard again, the user will appear in Manage Users list again.

1. From the View Builder, click Manage Users.
2. Select one or more users that you want to remove from Dashboard.
3. Click Remove.
4. Click OK in the confirmation pop-up dialog box.

You can choose to restrict access to a public user for WebFOCUS Managed Reporting by setting a password when the public user is created. The password must also be stored in Dashboard to allow the user to view the public pages without entering a password. Setting a password is optional, but if a password is set in WebFOCUS Managed Reporting, it must also be set in Dashboard to the same value.

Dashboard administrators can select a specific Managed Reporting user ID and password other than the public user ID and password used to access Dashboard Public views.

When a Public view opens in a browser, Dashboard logs into Managed Reporting with a default user ID and password that you can set in the View Builder. The public user ID and password are stored in the file:

ibi\WebFOCUS77\worp\conf\worp_mre.mpd

If a user attempts to login from the Dashboard login page with the Managed Reporting user ID that has been designated as the public user in Dashboard, a message (19102) appears.

When public user credentials are changed outside of Dashboard, the changes must be propagated to Dashboard using the View Builder. Public user credentials include the user ID and password that connect the public user to Managed Reporting or the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. If the changes are not reflected in the View Builder, the public user cannot use the updated credentials when connecting to Dashboard.

Dashboard issues public sign-on requests when a public page is opened and any or all of the following conditions are met:

• The public user is not signed on.
• The /worp/conf/worp_mre.mpd file was changed because a user ID or password was changed in the View Builder.
• The /worp/conf/worp_eda.epd file was changed because a user ID or password was changed in the View Builder.

Note:

• You can only designate one public user per Dashboard installation.
• When setting the public user in the View Builder to a Managed Reporting user ID other than Public, the public user ID should not be set to the administrator ID used to administer Dashboard.
• When the public user password is changed in the Managed Reporting Administration interface, the password must also be set in the View Builder Public User window. This will enable Dashboard to connect the public user to the Managed Reporting repository.

In the View Builder, you can set a user ID and password so the public user can connect to the default WebFOCUS Reporting Server without having to enter login information. Although a user ID and password is optional, it is required to allow public access to the default WebFOCUS Reporting Server through Dashboard without requiring a login window. For details on setting the WebFOCUS server user ID and password in the server profile files, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.

The user ID and password entered here will be used for connecting to the default WebFOCUS Reporting Server. To set a different user ID and password to connect to alternate servers, the user ID and password must be set in the server profile. For more information, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.

Note:

• The View Builder does not attempt to match the user ID and password with a valid user ID and password for the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. This option is available to give you a way to set the value for the Dashboard public user without setting it for all WebFOCUS connections to the server.
• If you are using a configuration with WebFOCUS Server security enabled, the Public view is only accessible if a user ID and password are set in the View Builder. If an incorrect user ID or password is supplied in the Server window of the View Builder, message 19101 appears when a user attempts to access a Public view.

The following image shows the WebFOCUS Server Connection window containing text boxes for User ID, Password, and Confirm Password.
