Access Control Tab of the Report Properties Dialog Box

Use this tab to view and modify the security access set for the report. You can filter the reports on the Report page of the wizard by access control: shared, personal, or all.

If you are viewing a personal report with the same name as an existing shared report that you do not own, this page displays a message informing you that the report you are viewing cannot be shared, instead of the Access Control grid with the New and Delete buttons.

Attention: For more information about Cobra security, see the Security section of the Online Help.

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. Click the to change the ownership of the report and select another user ID in the Users lookup dialog box.
User	Users are individuals who can be given the right to open and view the report. Selecting a user or group makes the report shared. A shared report can be used or viewed whether the Read Only option is selected or not. However, a shared report can be modified only if the Read Only option is not selected. Click the to select a user whom you want to grant access controls to the report.
Group	Groups are composed of individual users and provide a convenient way of assigning multiple user rights to the report. A user can be a member of any number of groups. The SYSADMIN group is a special group that has access to administrative information. Selecting a user or group makes the report shared. A shared report can be used or viewed whether the Read Only option is selected or not. However, a shared report can be modified only if the Read Only option is not selected. If you do not give another group access controls, the report becomes personal and only you and the system administrator can view, use, and modify the report. Click to select a group to whom you want to grant access controls to the report. 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 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 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. Each user has a primary role, such as analyst or project manager. You can override the primary role for an individual by entering a role next to a group or a user.
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: 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.
