Disable security rules in discoverer report

Question

I have a discoverer report on GL with security rules applied, it displays data based on the responsibility thro which we have logged in. Users dont want this functionality, they want all the data to be displayed in a single reponsibility, which implies that the security rule be disabled for this report. The report doesnt have any custom folders and also I couldnt find anywhere the GL_SECURITY_PKG being called to implement security rules. Can anyone help me in disabling the security rules.

Hi,
Where did you look for the security rule? in the underlying objects or in the discoverer?
First thing you should do to see whether this rule is applied is from within the discoverer take the SQL (from the view-> sql inspector) and start analyzing the views in the from clause, i am sure that you'll find one of them that holds this rule.
If you are using oracle BA then for sure you'll find it in the "Journal Lines" folder (based on view : GLFG_JOURNAL_LINES)
Your request is not that simple as "Disable the security rule".
If you are using Oracle views then you cannot disable it without changing those views and you will have to verify you are not changing any of the views that the application uses.
If you will create a new responsibility for "Cross Set Of Books" then you can exclude it from the rule by changing the security rule from :
Gl_Security_Pkg.Validate_Access(Journal_Line.Set_Of_Books_Id,Journal_Line.Code_Combination_Id) = 'TRUE'
To something like:
decode(fnd_global.RESP_ID,<your new resp_id>,'TRUE',Gl_Security_Pkg.Validate_Access(Journal_Line.Set_Of_Books_Id,Journal_Line.Code_Combination_Id)) = 'TRUE'
If it is a specific request they have then you can create a new view and use the GL tables to avoid the usage of the GL security rule.
