Re: Regarding the Customization of Reports type for a user Group

No, I do understand - you want to hide some of the reports from some of the users.

My first point was that you will need code to do it.  The reports are currently accessible to all.  There is no way to hide them based on group, so you will need to write something that wraps around each report (As you say, the report itself can be unchanged) and blocks access to it.

There's actually two approaches to that - the one above is the correct way to do it because it means users can't bypass your code by simply knowing the url to the report.  A more simple way to do it would be to just remove the reports from the menu based on the users groups.  You could use javascript (bearing in mind that is easy to hack on the browser side) or change the core code in Jira that provides the menu.  Neither of those will stop the users using the url.

My second point is more important though.  Why bother hiding the reports?  What exactly is the problem that you think hiding them will solve?  If a user really wants the information the reports show, they can extract it from the issue data anyway, so all you're doing is making work for them.  If they don't want the reports, then you can probably rely on them not actually bothering to run them.
