     Posted: 15 May 2012 at 4:47am
Is there any way to control a parameter selection so that any user of report will only be able to make a selection based on what they are authorized to see?  An example would be a division manager would like a list of employees for several departments in his division. Report is written so that any divison manager can run it. The parameter for department should show only those departments a Division manger is responsible for. 
 Thanks for aid in advance.

the only thoughts are they would have to enter their userid into a parameter and then use command objects to fill in a cascading parameter list...but they could enter someone else's userid.
 
CR, to the best of my knowledge, does not 'know' who is using the report, it has to be told, and it completely trusts the user...
 
one of the downfalls of CR.
