Table of Contents

About

This sets the list of users or roles available in the "Shared With" dropdown of the Misc tab in the Report Designer. This is usually set per-user and may be fine-tuned to your organization's needs. While this setting doesn't have any immediate effect on what reports a user can see, the CurrentUserRoles and CurrentUserName properties are used in conjunction with this property to create report-level security. The values contained in this list can either be names of users or names of roles within your application. Both may be used simultaneously if so desired.

Default Value: null/Nothing
