Before You Begin Customizing Dashboard
Before you create a public or group view or begin to
customize the WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard, the public
user must exist. The public user is set up to allow users to view
information without having to enter a user ID or password. Additionally,
the public user has access to the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting domains
that associate with the public user. The public user has limited
access to Dashboard. For details, see Public User Rights.
In most instances, the public user is automatically generated.
To verify this, see the Managed Reporting Administration interface.
You can select any Managed Reporting user ID as the public user.
See Setting an ID and Password for the Public User.

Reference: Public User Rights
The
public user can:
- View and run
the contents of the Standard Reports folder for the domains available
to the public user. The public user can only execute reports contained
in this folder.
- Perform a Domain
Search, although the Look In option is not available to the public user.
You can remove the Domain Search option from a public view.
The
public user cannot:
- Create content
blocks or content pages.
- Access reporting
tools, such as Report Assistant, Graph Assistant, ReportCaster,
or Library.
- Access the My
Reports, Shared Reports, or Reporting Objects folders.
- Save report
output or report requests to a domain.
- Run deferred
requests or view deferred status.
- Run OLAP-enabled
reports. OLAP-enabled reports do not display in the Domain Tree
or Role Tree for the public user.
