  To specify options for access reports:

1. Start the Access Control Report.

   See Reporting on Access Permissions.

2. On Report Options, for Show Matching Access of Type, select the access to view: Read, Write, or None.

3. For Group the Results By, select how to view the report: Users or Objects.

4. From the Report Type sections, select Assigned Access or Effective Access:

   Table 3. Access Report Types

   Report Type	Description	Options
   Assigned Access	Summarizes access permissions that administrators assign	Specify whether access is assigned by member selection relation or group membership: Show Matching Access of Relation: Member, Children, Children (inclusive), Descendants, or Descendants (inclusive). Show Inherited From Group: Show access permissions inherited by users in a group.
   Effective Access Note: Effective Access reports cannot be generated for groups.	Summarizes access assignments as Planning evaluates them (for example, by member selection relation, such as children, or group membership). This is useful if there are conflicts in access permissions.	Describe the origin of the effective access by selecting Show Effective Access Origin. For example, a user named JSomebody may be assigned Write access to Entity1 and belong to a group named Sales that is assigned Read access to Entity1. This setting would show that JSomebody has Write access to Entity1 because individual assigned access supersedes access inherited by group membership.

5. Click Finish.
