Notes on Report Permissions
• The 'Use Parent Permissions' option for a report or a folder implies that it will inherit all of the permissions from its parent folder. If there are no permissions set for its immediate parent, its permission inheritance will recurse higher up in the hierarchy of folders, until the root folder is reached.
• Write permissions on a folder indicate that a user/role/group can save reports in the folder using the Ad Hoc reporting tool.
• Every user has full r/w/d permissions to his/her 'My Reports' folder.
• If a user has 'write' permissions on a report he/she can save over the original report template after making modifications using the Ad Hoc report tool. (Using the 'Save' button).
• If a .srt file is set to be 'Read Only' within the file system, a user cannot Save over this report template using the Ad Hoc tool.
• If a user has 'read' permissions (but no 'write' permission) on a report, he/she may save a copy of the report ('Save As') into any folder to which they have write permissions.
• If a user has read permissions on a report, but no read permissions on its parent folder, the report will not be visible in the repository tree. However, it can be viewed as a hyperlinked report.
• If explicitly set, the permissions of a report or a folder will override its parent permissions.
