Deactivate this property to prevent the user from publishing or accessing reports. This
property disables the published reports feature in reporting.
If the glide.report.published_reports.enabled system property is not set to the recommended value of false, then reports stored on the instance can be made visible without
authentication.

Ensure that the glide.report.published_reports.enabled system property exists in the System Properties \[sys_properties\] table and is set to the value false. If the property does not
appear in the sys_properties table, add a new record.
