Thanks,

Hi,

A user with "report_group" role can manage and modify reports for their own group (their group membership matches that of the groups the report is shared with)

report_group role allows user to manage reports shared with it's group:

group report user [report_group] Can manage reports that are shared with groups the user belongs to (visible in Group).

To restrict access, here is a question asked and answered:

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.
