Setting Permissions on Report Templates
To set permissions on a report template, you must have the Manage Report Templates permission or the Full instance-level permission on the template itself.
By default, all CentraSite users can view (and generate reports from) the report templates that you create through CentraSite Control. However, only you (as the owner of the report template) and users who belong to a role with the Manage Report Templates permission are initially allowed to modify and delete the templates through CentraSite Business UI.
To avoid that all users can view and generate reports from the report template that you have created or to enable other users to modify and delete a template that you have created, you must modify the template's instance-level permission settings.
The following general guidelines apply when setting permissions on templates:
*You can assign permissions to any individual user or group defined in CentraSite.
*The groups to which you can assign permissions include the following system-defined groups:
Group Name
Description
Users
All users within a specified organization.
Members
All users within a specified organization and its child organizations.
Everyone
All users of all organizations and child organizations, including guest users (if your CentraSite permits access by guests).
*If a user is affected by multiple permission assignments, the user receives the union of all the assignments. For example, if group ABC has Modify permission on a template and group XYZ has Full permission on the same template, users that belong to both groups will, in effect, receive Full permission on that template.
*If you have assigned users the Modify or Full permission on a template and you want them to be able to manage (modify or delete) the template in CentraSite Control, be sure that the users have Use the Reports UI permission.
