In BO 3.1 CMC, if you right click a folder then "User Security" you get a list of users and user groups with an associated access level. What is the simplest way to automate the extraction of these to a flat file? They are simply to many to manually go get them.

I have access to the Query Builder and if I have to I'll fire up good old eclipse and hack away at the BO 3.1 SDK.

Any thoughts?

In XIr2, there was a Security Viewer application that would do what you ask; but it was not provided for XI3.

Since you're familiar with the SDK, you can use this script on the BOB Forum to generate an extract of security rights.
