Access to the report-creation features is controlled by the role-based manager permission. So you must be in a role associated with this feature in order to create reports.

You don’t need to enable the reports manager permission to users, if they are only going to view reports.

You must be a member of a role with manager permission for Reports if you wish to:

  • Create new reports.
  • Edit or copy existing reports.
  • Delete existing reports, either individual or as batch delets.


This permission is set through the Configuration Menu.

1. Click the Roles & Permissions hyperlink under the Configuration heading on the navigation menu.

  • Provided your own account possesses one of the selected roles, you will now be able to create, edit and delete reports. You will also be able to see two new columns on the list of reports: "Created By" and "Last Modified."
