How to pass curuserid to SSRS report ?

Posted on by Community Member

I'm looking at using DataMethods to pass the curuserid as a parameter to filter a dataset on the current user. How to do that ?

For now when I need this, I'm creating an action item menu that launches a class. This class feeds the curuserid as a parameter before launching the actual output menu item.

I'm trying to see if it could be simplified by getting the current user directly from within a data method. For now even if I create a Data Method that returns an hardcoded string it seems I can't feed a parameter (either the value or the allowed values) with a datamethod.

Are datamethod onyl usable as data sources for the report but not as a source for parameters ?

Thankds in advance (using Reporting Services 2005).

    I believe I've got found now a better approach. Rather than trying to feed a SQL Server query with the curuserid parameter I'm just using a business logic method to execute the statement I need filtered based on the curuserid. I'm using this already filtered list as a source for one of my parameter...

    Why not just use

    =User!UserID

    within the report?

    It doesn't seems there is a User object or do you mean Globals!UserId ?

    As it is part of the RS programming model even outside of an AX context, I assumed it returned the Windows account name under which the report runs. I needed the AX user identifier.

    I'll give this a try though to see what is the result. Thanks.

    Yes, you are correct, this will give you windows account name.  However, you can create a new dataset in ssrs to query AX table UserInfo based on the NetworkAlias field and have it return userinfo.id which is the AX user name.

    Depending on how you have everything setup, networkalias field should equal windows account.

    Use embedded report parameter 'User!UserID'(you'll see it under 'Built-in Fileds'). It is windows account.

    After search in UserInfo Ax table the ax userId(domain in one column, UserId is other column). Open UserInfo table and you'll see the solution - nothing hard.
