Different LOV for different user

If I was to have different LOV for different users (different user have to see specific data) can this be accomplish in a different way that having a report for each user? Merci

In reporter you can switch list of values from corporate LOV to a personal lov (Tools --> Universes --> List of values), though this not very userfriendly.
Otherwise create object for every user and assign specific LOV to the object.

I know at the universe level I can crete the different LOV for the different users. So for example if I have 3 different users, I have 3 different LOV for a certain data then I will need 3 different reports (using each one of the LOV). The problem is I have a lot of different user types so I will need a lot of reports. Thus my question is if there is a way I only create a report and be able to determine which LOV to use depending the user whi is accessing/

You can only do this if you treat your LOVs the same way you treat any other security. You'll have to have some sort of column that maps the user id to the values they should get in the LOV.
