Extending Report Permissions to your Entire Audience Using the Access Tab
Users in your audience can only run the custom report if they have permission for the standard report that it's based on. This restriction keeps you from accidentally giving access to users who don't have the right permissions.
Administrators can extend custom report access to users who wouldn't normally have permission to run it. If you're a user with the Administrator role, the More Options page includes an Access subtab where you can define the users and groups to extend access to.
Administrators can give users or roles the Granting access to reports permission so other users can view their reports. Users with Edit, Create, or Full access (above View level) can use the Granting access to reports permission and see the Access tab in the Report Builder. On the Access tab, the user can give access to others for that report.
You can select access options by using the same options described in To define an audience for your report:.
This may give access to users whose access to report data would normally be restricted. Before you extend access, make sure that your custom report doesn't include sensitive or restricted data.
