ACL Assessment for Reports

Application components

Use the Report ACL dashboard to identify reports that users aren't able to see. If the owner doesn't meet ACL constraints, ACLs can even block report creators from their own reports. Consider a report shared with all ITIL users. A table or table column the report is based on limits access to those users with an admin role. In this case, most users with the itil role aren’t able to view the report. The application identifies both the users and the reports. Using the information from the assessment, you can ignore users and reports and address them later.

The scan evaluates all reports against the report_view ACLs on the instance. It also identifies tables without report_view ACLs and evaluates which users won’t pass the READ ACLs on a table. The ACL assessment then allows you to address users in both categories - those who don't pass report_view ACLs and those who don't pass READ ACLs on reports without report_view ACLs.

Outside of the application, you can change sharing in the report or visualization designer, or change the access of users, groups, and roles.
