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.
Attention: For more information, see Restoring Reports and Configurations.

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.

The access control settings are described in the Access Control help topic. You can modify the access control settings afterwards on the Access Control tab of the Report Properties dialog box.
