Parameters and role

Hi all,

I have a report based on a cube with some parameters. So far, everything works fine, but there is one thing I want to improve for user-friendliness. I have a parameter linked to country selection and the roles are also based on countries.

My issue is that even if a user can only access the data of one country, in the drop-down list of the parameters, all the countries are available (even if no data is linked to these countries).

I'm wondering if there is a way to "filter" the parameters selection, to display only the countries useful for a specific user.

Thanks.

I'm not sure whether you can do this using custom code, but...

I use Visual Studio 2005's dropdownlist on my front-end. Basically, just have a SQL table that let's the dropdownlist know which counties the user should be associated with.

I can see how this would be challenging if you only have BIS.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have only BIDS... There is not an other way to do that? Any other ideas?
