Set Global Report Access
- Jason Reel (Deactivated)
The reports module is governed by permissions where access for users can be managed at the report level. As such, there are two global permissions for each report in Community Connect; "Allow All" and "Deny All". Each report will need to default to one or the other. These permissions will make a report globally available or hidden to all users with access to reports.
When "Allow All" is set as the default permission every user that is given access to reports will be able to see and run it.
When "Deny All" is set as the default permission the report is hidden from view and users will NOT be able to run it.
The global report default can be overridden for a specific user. For more information go here.
