We have a report which is driven from CSV files & SharePoint lists (no SQL, no domain even!).
The report shows outstandings for each of our Centres around the country.
Up until recently I have had to have a report for each Centre (as other Centres shouldn't see each others data) which is a maintenance nightmare.....
I would like to be able to drive the report using Username() to filter by Centre with a table with email address and Centre in it.
I've looked at RLS and if I create a Role then the email address of the user is returned. However (and I believe this is by design at present as it is in Beta) when I refresh the dataset the Role is deleted.
That's no big deal (as long as a simple recreate of the Role would work) as updates to the reports are few and far between, but in my testing I am getting this error when I update the dataset and try to recreate the Role (called simply Staff with no members):
Trying to create a Role with a different name doesn't seem to work either.
Anybody got any ideas as to whether what I am trying to do will work or whether there is a better way to accomplish it?
Thanks.
