Restrict users from editing reports?

[Edwin Fuller]

I don't want my users to have the ability to edit the reports, they just need to view them. Is this possible?

Being able to edit a report will create a copy of the report that the user can use themselves. Most of the time users want to be able to adjust the reports to their liking. Having the ability to share the report with others is not allowed unless you have the appropriate role. Here is more information on the reporting roles and what they do:

Hi Edwin,

If you only want to give Read access but not Write access, then you need to deal with the ACL's.

ACLs control access to the underlying table data. List reports require the reporting user to satisfy ACLs on the target table to view records in the list. Users without sufficient permissions may see filtered list reports.

Reports that present aggregate data, such as pie or bar charts, do not require the user to satisfy target table ACLs to view the chart. These reports are not filtered due to security, though may be filtered by an on-query business rule defined for the target table. ACLs are required to view the list of records when you click on a portion of a chart.

Hope this will help you..

Thanks,

Devi

Hi Edwin,

You can create ACL for that reports, so that you can restrict the users to edit the reports.

for creating a Access control list, you need to have security_admin privileges, so click on Lock icon or elevated privileges and enable it.

next you can see NEW button in access control list. Now create your own ACL. hope this will be helpfull.

Thanks
