Access to this content denied based on report_view ACLs

hi Team
I have a user in the system whose landing page is set to the self-service portal, which includes two gauges: "My Active Incidents" and "My Requested Items."

Whenever the user logs in, the page shows the message 'Access to this content denied based on report_view ACLs' under those widgets.

I reviewed the ACL 'report_view', which specifies that a role must be assigned. I’ve already added the required role, but the issue persists.
Much appreciate an advice.

Thank you for the valuable tip—it seems really helpful. However, my instance version is Washington DC. I’ve actually resolved the issue using a different approach. Since the underlying table for the report is [incident], I’ve verified the security rules. My main concern was the ACLs with the operation "report_view," which allows report_view access for records in the incident table for users with the role sn_incident_read. Once the mentioned role was assigned to the user through a dedicated group, the issue was resolved.

@DushanthaB I recommend you to use Access Analyser to analyse which ACL is preventing the users from accessing the widget.

Hope this helps.
