Manage Global Views/Reports

From ISV Support Wiki

This permission defines how users in a Role can manage all Views and Reports from the Views Management option in Settings. Additional controls for Folders and Home Pages are provided as well.

Considerations

• This is a global permission, affecting elements created by Users (without their permission or knowledge)
• As a global permission it also affects Default/System-Generated elements created by the platform
• When Manage Global Views/Reports permission is enabled for a Role, then the Make Views/Reports Visible to Others and Create/Delete Views/Reports/Homepages permissions are enabled, by default

• The Manage Global Views/Reports permission overrides any settings in Make Views/Reports Visible to Others and Create/Delete Views/Reports/Homepages

• The Manage Global Views/Reports permission is set in Administrative Permissions

About Creating Views, Reports or Home Pages

• Elements created by the platform are known as Default/System-Generated elements
• When a user creates a View, Report or Home Page, that Username is retained in the Created By field

• By default, Users are granted permission rights to edit or delete these self-created Views, Reports and Home Pages

How it Works

The following actions are available in Views, Reports, Folders and Home Pages elements when the Manage Global Views/Reports 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
