Link to Web Report Studio (view mode)

Catrin — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 07:01:07 GMT

Hello everybody,

I am looking for the URL to call a Web Report Studio Report just in view mode.
Using https:// ....../SASWebReportStudio/openRVUrl.do?rsRID=SBIP%3A%2F%2FMETASERVER%2........%2Report.srx%28Report%29 opens Web Report Studio with both tabulator keys: edit mode and view mode.

Is there a way to call WRS or better the report just in view mode?

I will appreciate any hint

Catrin

Which version of the SAS Intelligence Platform are you using? Are you on the latest version of SAS 9.4 (M8)?

Thank you for your reaction.
The SAS Platform we actually are using is SAS 9.4 M6.
If a solution would be different in SAS 9.4 M8 it would be helpful to get this information too.

Maybe I misunderstand, but shouldn't access to Edit mode be controlled using authorization:

Here's a list of ways to access a report in View mode if you not already have seen it:

I am a little unclear on what you are trying to do. Do you personally want only view-only access to Web Report Studio? Or are you trying to restrict someone else's access to view only?

Either way, this is controlled by capabilities as @LinusH mentioned in an earlier post.

Thank you Madelyn and LinusH,

sorry for being unclear.
I am looking for presenting an WRS report in view mode only. I hoped, there was a parameter I could join to the URL to reach this.
I do not want to change the original authorization of the report.

As I understand you, there is only a way on the authorization level in the application. So, if one has edit access, one will see both tab keys and I cannot hide the edit key. Is that right?

If you are the one doing the presentation, then the Edit tab will be visible.
