Remove permissions from any Business Object universe that you want to export. You cannot extract a write-protected universe. For more information about removing Business Object permissions, see the Business Objects documentation.
Make sure that the user who logs in to the Business Objects repository belongs to the Universe Designer Users group and has read access to all the Business Objects metadata. If the Business Objects repository contains web intelligence reports in the Favorites or Personal folders, the user should also belong to the Administrators group. You must create a custom security group giving permission to the user to view Web intelligence reports.
