How to restrict data by users in Google Data Studio? - google-data-studio

I have a report in google data studio and needed to restrict information by branches at user level. For example: In the same sales report, branch A users cannot see branch B data.
Is it possible in Google Data Studio?

unfortunately this feature is not available for a single data studio report. You will have to create branch specific reports and give access to the correct users to accomplish your goal.

you can use URL parameters and build the report so it will show the relevant parts per the parameters you pass.

Need mapping between TFS Team Name and Work Item Ids

In TFS, every Team is associated with Project. Also every Team has their own work items. Team can have more than one area path, similarly one area path can be associated with more than one team.
So I need to create a report where we can get all Work Items associated with specific team.
Is there any way to get that mapping from any table from TFS databases or using REST API?
No such report by default. You can add a custom field to represent teams in your organization, you can reconfigure the agile planning tools and pages to support your teams and decouple assignment to teams and area paths.
Detailed steps, you can follow MSDN article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144940.aspx

how to Query accounts in developer.salesforce.com

i'm a salesforce newbie, so my question might be a trivial one.
I just tried the code here http://www.tgerm.com/2011/03/javascript-remoting-jquery-templates.html
to query accounts from a visual force page.I just wanted to know, is there a way to query directly in the developer.force.com interface
If you don't feel like installing any software on your machine you can always use Workbench, (Queries -> SOQL query). It's described on http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Workbench
Or when you're logged in to your Org check out the links in upper right corner and go to "Developer Console". But it's mostly aimed ad execution of Apex so if you want queries it won't be best match, full of assigning to Lists or calling System.debug()...

metrics available for user personal reports

we're trying to do some basic analysis of personal reports for our org- like the distribution of reports made from one profile vs all the others, or even an org wide count. Really anything....
Is there anyway to get some analytics when it comes to personal reports?
Got the answer from SF:
even by using the MetaData API- you can't do squat. The only thing you can do is log in as the user, and get the number of reports by counting the number they have in their personal folders. Thats provided you have access to login as that user
Ew Salesforce. Just ew.

Cube Roles - Restrict data by territory using Active Directory

I have a cube which I want to restrict users to only be able to access data in their own territory. The territory data could be joined with their user name and a few various tables to link to my sales territory dimension table. How would I go about using BIDS to create a role that automatically changes the allowed member set per user.
Thanks!
Ethan
I found this link that has a method of doing it: Cube Roles - Restrict data by territory using Active Directory
At some point in the near future I'll implement and post to see if it works, but I believe it is the answer.

Edit:
I have implemented it and it works perfectly, only with one problem. If territories get changed or users get reassigned, the changes won't happen until the cube is reprocessed.
About to ask this as a new question. When making the dll, the analysis server dll is framework 2.0 so make sure that use the target framework 2.0 when you compile it.

Asp.net Report Viewer - Custom filter parameters

for a data warehouse project I need to know about some best practices regarding custom report viewer filters/parameters.
Usually I use the standard parameter feature for reports, like multiple select boxes, check boxes, text boxes etc.. But for the current project some reports require more complex report parameters. E.g. a user wants to analyze some measures. For that the user needs to set a filter on a specific address. There are over 100.000 address to choose from, so he has to have the ability to search for an address (full text). Since such features cannot be done with the standard parameters, I will have to create custom params within a ASPX page which are then passed to the report viewer control.
So my question is: Are there any best practices on how to create custom parameters? Did anyone had similar problems, if so, how did you solve it?
Create your parameters on a simple web form that queries valid values from the database. Then Pass the parameters to the report server via the URL. Here is the documentation for Passing parameters via URL string
