Readers not able to Broadcast

Hi,

We are currently using Yellowfin 7.1 september patch and we have found that the readers are not able to Broadcast the reports though they have the ability to Broadcast while the admin is still able to broadcast. Before upgrade readers were able to Broadcast.

Reader satisfy all the below contions:

1. The Broadcast option is enabled on the Data Source.
2. User's Role has the "Broadcast Reports" function enabled.
3. The report is not an "Ad Hoc" report.
4. The "Broadcast" option is ticked on the Options menu:
5. The report is active (not in Draft/edit mode).

Can you please look into the issue with high priority.

Regards,
Dhrati

Hello Dhrati,

Can you clarify further, if the user cannot see a Broadcast icon when viewing the report?

If the user is assigned to the Report Consumer role, they must have the following settings updated within the Role in order to have the Broadcast option available:

Hi Suneetha,

Thanks for the screenshot.

Comparing your screenshot to mine, can you try enabling Report Access ( ticks in C/U/D boxes ), then enable the Public Reports in the Report Builder section, and see if the Broadcast icon appears?

Kind Regards,

Danny
Hi Danny,

If we enable C/U/D on report access the Broadcast icon will appear but then the "Readers" will be able to create reports which we do not want. In the previous version also we have kept the same setting as shown in our image and the Readers were able to broadcast but now they are not. Kindly provide us a quick resolution.

Hi Dhrati,

Can you try removing the Create and Delete options under Report Access and Public Reports, leaving just the Update option ticked - see if this works for you.

Kind Regards,

Danny
Hi Danny,

If we enable update option then the Readers will be able to edit the existing reports which we do not want. Readers should not be able to create, update or delete report and this will achieve only if we disable U/C/D options. As mention settings for Readers in our image Readers were able to Broadcast in Previous version but not now.

Please Note: Readers should only be able to View along with Broadcast icon.

Thanks,
Dhrati
