Group: Information. Compatible with DAX.
Syntax
CUSTOMDATA ( )It takes no parameters.
Returns
Text. The text the connection carries as its custom data.
Remarks
- An application that signs in with one account for many people can say on whose behalf it asks, and a role's filter can read it:
Places[District] = CUSTOMDATA (). - In OpenBI Studio it is the text given as Custom data in the Security view's See as. A client sends it as the CustomData property of its connection string.
- On a secured server only an administrator may set it; a request from anyone else that tries is refused.
- Without custom data the answer is BLANK, which also equals empty text:
CUSTOMDATA () = ""is TRUE then.
