Seems rather easy:

select ...
from some_table
where organization = :par_organization
...


As (2) says that report should accept only one parameter - organization - the only mystery is (3) - how do you know who is authorized for which organization? Once you find that out, you'd have to create list of values for the PAR_ORGANIZATION parameter which will display only organizations current user is allowed to see.

I'm afraid I can not. I have no idea how is this information stored in your database. It *might* be something like
select t.organization
from organizations t
where t.organization_id in (select u.organization_id
                            from user_organizations u
                            where u.user_id = <user_which_runs_the_report>
                           )

For data validation, validate trigger is not needed right?

Thanks

It is not mandatory.

For example, you can have a check constraint on a table column which takes care about valid values. Or, referential integrity constraint, or unique constraint ... all of them won't let you enter invalid values (so yes - you don't need to have a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger in a form).

Is this question related to the original problem? If so, you don't have to write any kind of a trigger. "List of values" I mentioned can be created in Reports Builder itself (but you'll have to display its Parameter Form so that user can select from it). Or, as you already know, it can be created in Forms Builder and you'll just pass its value to a report. In that case (LoV in your form), set item's "Validate from list" property to "Yes" - it'll do the validation (i.e. user won't be able to enter values different from the ones contained in LoV).
