Hi everyone,
I'm new with Seal Report.

Is possible to use the user (SecurityUser object defined in the authentication) as a restriction for a report (also via the Report Designer) ?

For example, I have a list of Site ID need to be passed as filter to the report, but the Site ID should be filtered by User Id.

Hope is clear.. and thank you for your help.

Yes, you can use the SecurityContext object, but only when connected with the Web Report Server as there is no security with the Report Designer.
A classic approach is to define a dynamic "Additional Where Clause" in your table defined in your source.
Then use Razor Script to do what you want, here is the template to filter on the logged user name:

Code:
@using Seal.Model
@using Seal.Helpers
@{
  MetaTable table = Model;
  string restriction = Environment.UserName;
  if (table.Source.Report != null && table.Source.Report.SecurityContext != null)
  {
    restriction = table.Source.Report.SecurityContext.Name;
  }
  string result = string.Format("aColumnName={0}", Helper.QuoteSingle(restriction));
}
@Raw(result)
