Restricting access to force Consolidate

Please check here: https://community.onestreamsoftware.com/t5/Accepted-Code-Samples/Event-Handler-for-Consolidate-with-orwithout-logging-or-Force/m-p/3688#M35

With the si object you get the active user. Then you need to check, if the user is in a group of your choice, using a brapi function, to prevent or allow the force consolidate.

There is a chancel flag to cancel silent, or you can use a brapi function to generated an error with a custom error message. Be careful, an error in the event handler prevents some functions to work.

Hi Khanh, please contact you Onestream services contact or your partner (if you are a customer) to get the information. Regards Christian

Hi Khanh

I just implemented something similar. You will need a Business Rule of type Wcf Event Handler

Then the code is something like:

 Try

' OneStream provides the lines below
Dim returnValue As Object = args.DefaultReturnValue
args.UseReturnValueFromBusinessRule = False
args.Cancel = False

' before consol starts
If ( args.IsBeforeEvent And (args.WcfServiceType = WcfServiceType.Calculate Or args.OperationName= "StartConsolidation" Or args.OperationName= "StartProcessCube") )
   ' check if user is in security group OK_CONSOL if he is not then cancel running
   If ( Not brapi.Security.Authorization.IsUserInGroup(si,"OK_CONSOL")) Then
     args.Cancel = True
     ' throw in an exception to grab their attention
     Throw New XFException(si, New Exception("SOX Violation: User NOT Provisioned to Execute Consolidation."))
  End If
End If
Return returnValue

Hi Christian,

I cannot access to your link, it's said "Access Denied. You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action.".

Could you kindly let me know how to access this resource please ?

Thank you very much,

hello

Yes, as a new business rule. OneStream will automatically save it under Extensibility Rules folder as WcfEventHandler. Do not chance the name or try to move the business rule. The code below is originally provided by OneStream at the time of creation
