You can use reports to perform evaluations across the system. Some reports also allow you to carry out certain operations.

Prerequisites

The configuration of the reporting repository dictates which reports are available. A system administrator carries out the configuration.

For more information, see Reporting Repository Manager.

You require the following permissions in the reporting repository:

  • To display reports, you require read permission.

  • To run reports, you require write permission.

    Caution Caution

    Before you allow users to run reports, note that the system does not run reports using the permissions and services permissions of the user that started the report. Instead, the system uses a service user to run all reports. By default, this service user has all permissions.

    End of the caution.
