Prerequisite
You are
for this tenant.The administrator roles described in the following are defined via various privileges at the server and database level. Depending on the roles assigned to the administrators they can carry out specific functions.
superuser
The user superuser is created automatically. By default, this user is assigned the User management, License management, and Configuration administrator function privileges. This user can also enable this function privilege for other users. Users of the superuser type do not use up a license. They manage the system administration, but cannot use ARIS products due to license restrictions. The default password is superuser. You should change the default password to prevent unauthorized access. The password of the superuser is very important, as it is the only user who cannot be deleted. You can change all user data except for the user name. The superuser can recreate the other default users (system, arisservice, guest) if they were deleted.
system
The system user system assumes the of the system administrator and has all function and access privileges in all databases of a tenant. Authorized persons can use this emergency user to log in to any database, even if you are using an external system, such as LDAP, for authentication.
The name system cannot be changed. The System user check box for this user (Function privileges properties page in ARIS Architect) cannot be disabled either. You should immediately change the password manager to prevent unauthorized access.
To avoid problems, you should create additional system users. Having more than one system user can avoid problems, for example, if one system user has forgotten his password. If you forgot the passwords of all your system users, the full range of functions is no longer available and full data access is no longer possible.

Double-click the Reports folder. The report categories are displayed.
Right-click the category to which you want to assign the report script or create a new category.
Click New > Report. The Script Wizard opens.
Specify the entries in the required languages. Entries for which a string table is specified in the script should imperatively be specified in all languages. Name and Description are especially important. You can specify security settings to prevent unauthorized script changes or restrict execution.

Select the database items for which the script is to be started, and click Next.
Select an evaluation filter if necessary. The method content is restricted to the content that is activated in both the method filter you used when logging in to the database and the evaluation filter you selected.
Enable the option Create output file and the option Use report script template (design view), and select a report script template.
In the Supported output formats box, enable the file formats that users can select for the output when running the report.
Click Finish.
The report script is created in the selected category and is displayed in the design view of Script Editor on a separate tab.
You can also save the script as a report script template. This enables you to create additional scripts based on this one.
Check the script before releasing it. To do so, open the script and click Run (F9).
If you made it available to all users, they can select it on this ARIS server in the Report Wizard.
