Hi There are valid reasons to do this sort of thing. Not for audiences as mentioned, but for example, I set up a unique ID for each user which represented their identifier in a non Active Directory database. Using SharePoint integrated reporting services, I created a report definition that used this ID as a parameter to pulling user specific information from that database.
I then added this ID as a additional user property to the SSP, and assigned the property to users who had ID's in this database. I then published the report, and connected the report web part to the current user filter using this ID property to make the report unique to each user. regards Paul HYPERLINK "http://www.cleverworkarounds.com"www.cleverworkarounds.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ishai Sagi Sent: Friday, 15 February 2008 1:56 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Adding user properties Then why not just assign security directly for the users? Sounds like another level of complexity you can simply avoid.

Then that is not the way to do audiences. Audiences are there to create virtual groups of users based on an attribute. Then, when you edit a web part you can specify which audiences should see it. In SharePoint lists you can add an audience field so that each list item can be targeting an audience.

I think this is how I go about it basically our db has a field called ClientID and I'm going to need to enter this for each client suppose if the above is not correct wondering how I filter the users view by this field in the SharePoint Profile? Should I be doing via the designer? IMPORTANT - Please consider our environment before printing this email.
