Grant rights to view reports

To view reports, users must be granted appropriate permissions. The rights to view reports are granted with the help of security roles, just like any other rights in Adaxes.

To facilitate the delegation of permissions, reports are assigned to categories. You can allow users to view all reports that belong to a particular category, rather than a specific report. By default, a built-in security role, Report viewer, allows all users to view the reports assigned to the For Everyone category.

Categories include not only reports, but also report overviews. It means that with the help of report categories, you can also distribute permissions for overviews.
