Access Control Page of the Report Wizard

Use this page to enable users or groups to access the report that you are creating.

You can assign multiple users, groups, or roles to a report.

This page only displays if you select the Save Report option on the Save and Run page and you:

• Enter a report name that is not the same as an existing shared report on the Save and Run page.
• Select a shared report on the Report page and keep the existing report name on the Save and Run page if you are a SYSADMIN user.
• Select a shared report that you own on the Report page and keep the existing report name on the Save and Run if you are a non-SYSADMIN user.

When you run and save a new report, the access control list is cleared by default. If you open an existing report and save it using the same report name, the new report uses the access control list assigned to the original report. If you open an existing report and save it using a different name, the access control list of the report is cleared.

The access control entry supports a read-only flag. The owner (or member of the SYSADMIN group) can use this feature to override the access rights otherwise permitted to the specific User/Group/Role combination.

Field	Description
Owner	This field displays the user ID of the owner of the report. By default, this field displays the user ID of the user creating the report. Note: This field is always disabled regardless of whether you are the owner of the report or a member of the SYSADMIN group. To change the Owner field of a particular report, use the Access Control tab of the Report Properties dialog box.
User	Users are individuals who can be given the right to open and view the report.
Group	Groups are composed of individual users and provide a convenient way of assigning report rights to multiple user rights. A user can be a member of any number of groups. The SYSADMIN group is a special group that has access to administrative information. Use the WORLD group to provide access to all users. For example, use this group to provide all users with read access to the report. All users that you define in the EPM Security Administrator (EPM SA) automatically become members of the WORLD group in Cobra. Since this special group does not require that you maintain the users, you cannot select the WORLD group in the Group list in EPM SA.
Role	Roles define the permissions of a user set in EPM SA. Changing this field does not override the primary role defined in EPM SA. Use the OWNER_DELEGATE role to provide the user the same access control to the file as the user assigned as Owner.
Read Only	This option, when selected, allows the creator of the report (or any member of the SYSADMIN group) to provide a user or a group with Read Only access to the report. Note: For new reports, you can use the Access Control tab of the Report Properties dialog box to assign users, groups, and roles. You can also use this tab to modify these settings for existing reports. Only the owner or any member of the SYSADMIN group can change the report information, and delete and restore a report. You can assign multiple users, groups, or roles to a report.
