Reports set to read only

[CV1]

How can we make a report read only.. When I share a report to group /users they get the report design view where the user can modify and configure the report. How to avoid that.

Hi,

You can restrict creation of report on certain table by use of report_on ACL. Additionally, you can also restrict update on report by creating a write ACL on sys_report table.

Refer doc link as well once.

Another option will be to publish the report so that they cannot edit but that would mean they will not be able to apply additional filters as well.

 i published the report and shared the url, user receives error - "Security constrains prevent access to requested page."

• I added the users in sharing - group/users and then published and gave the link but they still get the same error.
• Previous (before publishing the report) the same user was able to access the report via Report>view/run>ReportName. But then the user could modify the report as they get the options to change the report type,table etc.. 

Please advise.

Ok so , to view published reports , you need to be logged into SN. The report created was using "is dynamic " filter and the users were clicking on the link directly with out being logged into SN and hence they were receiving the error  "Security constrains prevent access to requested page."

Looks fine once logged in.

Thank you Jaspal for the info shared.
