Execute

Process an entry.

For entries such as reports, agents, and metrics, the user can run the entry.

For data sources, connections, and signons, the entries can be used to retrieve data from a data provider. The user cannot read the database information directly. The report server can access the database information on behalf of the user to process a request. ACI verifies whether users have execute permissions for an entry before they can use the entry.

For credentials, users can permit someone else to use their credentials.

Note: Users must have execute permissions for the account they use with the run as the owner report option.

Set policy

Read and modify the security settings for an entry.

Traverse

View the contents of a container entry, such as a package or a folder, and view general properties of the container itself without full access to the content.

Note: Users can view the general properties of the entries for which they have any type of access. The general properties include name, description, creation date, and so on, which are common to all entries.
