Security

• The application supports two Global user roles: report users and report writers. Global Admin has no security restrictions. Global report writer user can publish any report type but only to a folder where she is a publisher.
• Select report types that a user can create by moving them into the "Selected report types" section and then clicking the "Update" button.
• Select user roles by moving them into the "Selected roles" section and then clicking the "Update" button.

Updating User Information

• A report writer or an administrator can also change her own information by going to "Design" > "Update User Information".
• A user without writer rights does not have access to this page. The work-around would be to assign her a report type (like Dashboard) but no publishing rights to any folder.
