Cannot configure filter to follow other filters as report admin

Is there a way to be able to configure filters to follow each other such as Manager -> Assignment Group -> Assigned To without being a system administrator?  We have a separate reporting team that manages all reporting and analytics and they are not system administrators.  Is there some access or role (beside admin) that can be given, that would allow them to be able to configure the filters?  Cascading filters in the previous versions worked fine, but now they have to contact a system admin to flip the switch which is a waste of everyone's time.

I have some more specific information. You need an admin to create an ACL granting read permission to report_admin for the tables sys_m2m and sys_collection.

We have created PRB1841407 to add this read permission by default for at least report_admin and at least for Zurich. Suggestions of other roles welcome.

Hi, Pam. I've asked around, and the developer currently in charge of filters is going to look into how to set up ACLs on the connecting tables. Those tables are admin-only by default, which is why the admin role is required.

i wonder if viz_admin makes more sense since moving more to the visualizations?  or both report_admin and viz_admin?
