Learn how to administer reports on the ServiceNow platform using the ReportsAdministration module.
This module is not enabled by default, and must be activated. For a list of the reporting roles delivered with the ServiceNow platform, see [Reporting roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/A5_GQndRgOBNIbSGutyS3A#reporting-roles "Reporting is installed with roles that limit report creation. Access control lists (ACLs) can also limit report viewing and creation.").  
Note:  
Restricting a report by role restricts who can view a report. Users without the admin role cannot edit global reports. If a non-admin user edits a global report, saving that report creates a personalized version belonging to that user

Use the record list view to filter, view, or modify reports using any of the standard
record list controls. Click New to create reports or select any of
the records to display the report as a form. All the standard ServiceNow form controls apply.

You can select the table and field on which to report and the characteristics of the report
format. Create a condition in the Filter field to further restrict
the data that is presented in the report and select a role that can use the report.

## Report Security

The Report Security enforce access control checks plugin allows administrators to use
access control list (ACL) rules to restrict report access. This functionality prevents
unauthorized users from editing, updating, or deleting reports either through the UI or
through a URL construct. See [Access control list rules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=access-control-rules&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US) for
more information.
