3.To add a permission, click Add. Permissions are assigned to the following user categories:

Users - These are individual accounts within PerfectApps.

Groups - These are user-groups defined within PerfectApps.

Positions - This is a special category that is an organizational position occupied by one user only (CFO, for example).

Everyone - This is anyone who has a Full User or Basic User account with PerfectApps.

 

4.If the report has not been shared, only the View permission is granted. If the report is shared and you are the report owner, you can choose from a list of specific permissions for any user in the list. Note that if the permission does not have a check next to it (to neither Allow nor Deny), the permission will not be allowed. Permission options include:

View - This is the ability to view the report.

Edit - This allows a user to edit the report using the Report Designer.

Publish - Allows a user to deploy the report by clicking the Publish button.

Full Control - This enables all of the above.
