Report and Report Set User Security

Master Users

Master users have access to any report/report set definition, provided the Show shared and private folder contents from all users checkbox is checked in System > Preferences. The rest of this topic refers to access rights for non-master users.

Access to Scheduling Reports and Report Sets

Other VSA users can publish or reschedule a report/report set definition created by its owner if:

  • The folder containing the report/report set definition has been shared with them.
  • The currently selected scope of the VSA user matches the scope used by the owner to create the report/report set definition.

If both conditions are true, the scheduled report/report set displays on these pages:

  • Schedule - Displays all scheduled reports and report sets you are authorized to view.
  • Reports - Displays all scheduled reports for the selected report definition you are authorized to view.
  • Report Sets - Displays all scheduled report sets for the selected report set definition you are authorized to view.

Inbox Recipients

Only VSA users matching the scope used by the owner to create the report/report set definition can be designated Inbox recipients of a report/report set.

Email Recipients

Even if the scope of recipient does not match the scope of the owner when the report/report set was created, recipients can view reports and report sets sent to them as email recipients. The published reports/report sets are opened as email attachments.
