I am trying to add users to the Report Servers dbo.Users Table. I see a 36 character USERID. Does anyone know how this is generated? How do i get users to show up in this table?
I do not think you should directly modify/add data in ReportServer database.
To add a new user, go to your Report Manager web page.
For a default installation, it is http://[computer-name]/Reports
For a named instance suppose the instance is sql01, it is http://[computer-name]/Reports_sql01
Next, click on Properties tab. In Security, choose New Role Assignment.
There you can add users that exist on your Local machine, or on your company domain.
This user will show up in the Users table. But again, SQL Documentation advises not to directly manipulate data there. Good luck!

Let me preface this with the fact that I don't know much about VBA. I have created a database that will be split and the front end will be distributed to 14 different project managers. The database is intended to allow users to enter bi-weekly updates to their projects. I hope to get some guidance on creating usernames and passwords so that PMs can only access their project data.
I don't mind creating and issuing usernames and passwords to each user, but I am trying to avoid creating 14 copies of the database. That would make providing updated databases a nightmare.
Hopefully this isn't too basic of a question for this group.
yes, you can control users access, you need to create a user table in your backend database that will hold their firstname, surname, password, and any other user specific data that you might need, e.g. department, access level, etc.
In your front end, you need a login form and you make that the Display Form for your fe (set in the access options menu). You check the username and password entered matches what is held in your database, and if it's correct, you load the appropriate form, usually a main menu, and show them the appropriate data based on the login they used. You may need to hold the login they used in a TempVar, so you can access it from any form, report, query etc in your frontend.
You will need something like LASsie (Light Application Security) or program a similar solution yourself.

I have multi tenant azure sql database. I need to create readonly view to one customer to read some data without able to access any other database tables or views. How i can do that
Please try Azure Data Share to share a view with any person you want without giving access to the database.
Create a Data Share account.
Navigate to your Data Share Overview page.
Select Start sharing your data.
Select Create.
Fill out the details for your Data Share. Specify a name, description of share contents, and terms of use (optional).
Select Continue
To add Datasets to your Data Share, select Add Datasets.
Select the dataset type that you would like to add.
Specify the view you want to share with.
In the Recipients tab, enter in the email addresses of your Data Consumer by selecting '+ Add Recipient'.
Select Continue.
Set off "Snapshot schedule".
In the Review + Create tab, review your Package Contents, Settings, Recipients, and Synchronization Settings. Select Create.
Alberto Morillo provided a good way for you.
But from the Azure Data Share Documentation, Data share only can help share the view data to the customer, can not receive the request from customer, it's unidirectional.
According your comment, customer want to access the view from other application through call or API,
The answer is no, we can not do that for now without the permission for login or access the database.
Hope this helps.
We are creating dashboards for clients using data studio.
Each client should see their data in the dashboard, based on their login credentials. It is simple to create an authorized_view in Big Query to let certain users see certain rows of an underlying shared table. But how would one achieve to then move this into a dashboard which can be shared with each client, yet show only the individuals client in the dashboard instead of the data that was visible to the report creator?
So let's say we have a large table with a bunch of columns and one column email which contains the email of users. Now, we want the dashboard to show metrics for each user based on this email column.
On DataStudio in the datasource schema review step, make sure the flag USING VIEWER’S CREDENTIALS is on. By turning it on, the query when being executed will use the viewer’s credential instead of the owner who created the report.
After you finish create proper visualization on Data Studio, final step is to share the report to eg: store managers using the share option of Data Studio which is similar to share a Google Docs. You can confidently share it with the whole organization or with the email group of eg: store managers, permission already be controlled at data level.

I'll summarize the operation to give you a background.
I've an Access database in place with forms wherein a user inputs with diverse fields. This file is hosted on a shared network for my organization. The database is split between backend and frontend.
Issue(s):
- Multiple user cannot access a single form and simultaneous entries are not allowed.
- In case, if the file is opened by mistake it will prevent to enable submissions for other users on the network.
I am not sure if this will work as I am a newbie in Access. But can we create a HTML based form which will fill the tables in Access? If yes, kindly help in creating one. If not, kindly suggest an alternative.
Sample table attributes:
Date Name Type Remark
This is the same type of setup I use at my company. We have one backend (all the tables) and a frontend (queries, forms, reports, etc). The way to allow multiple users to work with the database is to have each user run their own instance on their computer ie have them copy/paste the frontend to their local desktop. Another thing to keep in mind is that the tables must be set up with primary key and autonumber field to prevent users from accessing and editing the same record.
I just wanna know if it's possbile to have a parameter or variable in Pentaho CE 5.0.1 when users log , so in that case each user will have his own report and cube in function of that parameter.
Thank you ,
If I understood you, you want to restrict data based on user name.
Example: User A can see Cube filtered to to Products from A department.
I used these 3 pages to implement such settings.
Try here, here and here.
The best way to do it is by assigning roles to different types of users and enabling cube security. You may grant role A the right to view a cube/schema/dimension/member and deny it to another.
As for content itself (reports, dashboards), you manage that from within Pentaho User Console by adding permissions either to a role or to a user.
