Automating User Creation

[MSTRDeveloper]

I have a need to automatically create a MicroStrategy User, create a filter based on his userID (which is an attribute stored in a lookup table on the warehouse), and then apply that filter as his security filter so when he logs in, he only sees his data. We are working on version 7.1.3. I know there is a way to create the user and apply a security filter in Command Manager, but there isn't a way to create a filter(until 7.2).
Is there a way to do all of this in one of the SDKs?

yes, you can use the COM based API to do all of the above. You'd need to install the SDK and then check out the following 2 manuals:

- SDK for Intelligence Server and Web Developer Guide: Common Functions
- SDK for Intelligence Server Developer Guide: Extended Functions

It's a little easier with Command Manager in 7.2 if you can upgrade.....
