Access Control Permissions for UDRs
You can assign User-Defined permissions in the following permissions-related module:

Project/Shell, Program, and Company Level
Use the Create Permission Based permission to define whether the User-Defined report (UDR) being created will have data sources that are permission-aware. The permission-aware data sources are defined as data sources that only return data that the user has permissions to see by way of the user-interface (UI). This is based on records returned. That is to say, the user will be able to see the data that is in hidden blocks or hidden tabs. The following data sources are available to create permission-aware UDRs:
- Business Process (BP)
- Document Manager
By default, Create Permission Based will be selected when user selects the Create permission for the user-defined reports.
Permission Level | Description |
---|---|
The following permissions are selected:
| The user will be able to create report for all data sources as well as permission aware BP data sources. |
The following permissions are selected with "Full Access" attribute.
| The user will be able to create report for all data sources as well as permission aware BP data sources. |
The following permission is selected:

The "Full Access" attribute is selected. | The user will be able to create report for all data sources as well as permission aware BP data sources. |

Notes:
