Make Views/Reports Visible to Others

This permission grants users the ability to make specified Views or Reports visible to other users. It is also required to share Document Folders with others.

Considerations

• The Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission is enabled by default in all new Access Profiles
• If Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission are enabled, then users also have Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission enabled by default
• If Manage Global Views/Reports permission are enabled, then Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission is also enabled (as an override)
• The Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission is set in [Administrative Permissions]]

How it Works

The following actions are available in Views, Reports, Folders and Home Pages elements when the Make Views/Reports Visible to Others permission right is enabled or disabled:

About [Save] and [Save As]

• The [Save] and [Save As] actions allow reports to be saved to these folders:

• My Report
• Unfiled Public Report
• Folder(s) created by the User
• Folder(s) that the User can access (via Visibility Controls)

• [Save] replaces the original report
• [Save As] makes a copy of the report to the selected folder
