Providing Permission to Filter

[Manoj Kumar]

Hi All,

I have two users superuser1 and superuser2.

Through superuser1 i have created a filter1. And using the id of the filter1 i have created a filter2.

Let's say filter1 id is 10000. Then the filter2=10000. Both are serving the same purpose. Now i the filter1 is private and filter2 is public. But while using filter2 it says the filter with id 10000 doesn't exist.

Have such a requirement where i can hide the filter1 and allowing all the users to use the filter2 which would serving the same result of filter1. 

Need help ?

Filters cannot have the same ID, so I am not sure what you mean by "filter 1 is 10000 then filter 2 is 10000" - they can't be. 

My guess is you mean you've set up filter 1, then created filter 2 to include a clause "filter in (10000)", so it's reflecting what filter 1 does.

If you do that, then someone using filter 2 must have permission to see filter 1.

is there any way if i can make filter1 private and filter2 public

You can, but if you make filter1 private, then people who can't see filter1 won't get results from filter1 when it is included in filter2.

You can't use filters as proxies to bypass security or permissions.  A filter can only show people things if they have the right to see them.
