Is there a way to control access to data in JRS reports at a team area level?
Here is the scenario:
I have a project area with two team areas (alpha and beta). Each team area is associated with its own timeline and iterations, and I created a category called Private, so that I can segregate access to work items among members of these team areas. When I file a work item planned for an iteration that belongs to team area alpha under Private, members of team area beta won't have access to this work item.
Now here's the question: is it possible to keep this access control level in JRS reports? According to my tests, JRS will only control access to data at a project area level. So if an user isn't member of my project area, he won't be able to create a report and limit the scope to the work items in my project area. But I still need to control access to data at a team area level, because I don't want users from one team area creating reports that displays Private work items from another other team area. Otherwise they'll just be overriding the data access control policy.
Any ideas on how to get it done? By the way, I'm testing JRS in version 5.0.2 iFix005.
Thanks!

Hello Andre,
JRS implements the access control only on the project area level, not on team areas. If this feature is important for your business I recommend to open a Request for Enhancement (RFE) to suggest its implementation to development: IBM RFE Community https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/ Best Regards Francesco Chiossi Andre Gusmao selected this answer as the correct answer

Thanks for the response Francesco. Do you know where I can find the JRS roadmap for future versions, to see if this enhancement already exists? I'm familiar with RTC, DNG, RQM and RRDI project areas in jazz.net, but I don't know where JRS fits to look for existing RFE's.
Also, I heard about LQE and Report Builder in version 6.0, but couldn't find detailed information about it. According to my understating, Report Builder is the same as JRS, so I was wodering if LQE will provide such access control over report data.
Thanks!

Andre, just create the RFE. It does not matter if it already exists. If so, it will be collected to similar RFE's.
