To create and configure a local group for Report Expert Editors:
1. On the Start screen, type any part of the name Computer
Management, and then click its shortcut.
2. The Computer Management window appears.
3. Create a new local group that will contain all of your Report
Expert editors.
The default name for the group in the Report Expert
configuration is host\FTMetricsEditors. You can use this
name or choose another.
4. Add the Windows domain user name of each editor to the
newly created group.
If you intend to use a local group that already exists in the system, or
you have created a new group and chosen for it a different name
than the default one, you need to update the Report Expert
configuration file.
To update the Report Expert configuration file:
1. Open the <Report ExpertInstallationDirectory>\Website
folder , and edit the Web.config file.
2. Replace the name of the default FTMetricsEditors group
with the name of the group you have created or chosen to
contain Report Expert editors.
For example, if the group that you use is named
RptExpEditors
, do the following:
Replace FTMetricsEditors:
<add key="FTMetricsEditorsGroup" value="FTMetricsEditors"/>
...
<allow roles="FTMetricsEditors"/>
With RptExpEditors:
<add key="FTMetricsEditorsGroup" value="RptExpEditors"/>
...
<allow roles="RptExpEditors"/>
