Remote URLs

BIRT reports have a concrete URL on JIRA and they can be shared among users (by email, as links on the Internet, etc):

${JIRA BASE URL}/plugins/servlet/birt/run?__report=${report.rptdesiign}


Encode Report Names

Of course, you have to replace the variables above ${} by their values according to your JIRA instance. The ${report.rptdesign} variable must be encoded to avoid issues with special characters like blank spaces, etc. You may want to use online services like this to encode BIRT report names easily.


Configure the final report

The BIRT Viewer supports some parameters in the URL to configure some report details like hiding some buttons and other options. Those parameters are described in this page


Security

Sure you are concerned about security. What it happens when a BIRT report link is shared?, who can view it?, what do others see? Well, all the BIRT reports displayed anywhere (JIRA Dashboards, Confluence pages, etc.) are BIRT reports URLs embedded in iframes. Therfore sharing BIRT reports URLs is the deault and the unique way to view reports anywhere, including JIRA Dashboards and Confluence pages. So no worry about sharing  BIRT report URLs.
