How to manage users access to report categories
- Jason Reel (Deactivated)
Reports in OMS are defined at the user level, meaning that each user can be set up to have access to specific report categories. The benefit of this approach is that a user can be given access to a category of reports without needing to have edit access to that area of an officer's record. The user's access can be customized at any time as the personnel department sees fit.
Access to report categories was previously awarded based on the screen permissions each user held. For instance, if they had access to the Allowances screen then they would have had access to the allowance report category. This is no longer the case.
Instructions
The steps below will need to be performed by someone that has permissions to edit user security.
Open Settings>User Security.
Search for the desired user (or add a new one).
Scroll down and select the report categories the user should be able to access. Select the box next to "Reports" to select all report categories.
Click the "Save" button
Report permissions are managed at the report category level and not for each individual report. Giving a user access to a specific category will allow the user to run ALL reports in that category.
