Security and Copying Report Requests

When you copy a secure report request, all the groups and users associated with that request are copied from the original request to the new copy:

• If you copy a report request to another existing report request, the existing request must either be public or you must have access to it.

• If you do not have access, an error message will display.

• If you copy a report request to another report request, only those users and groups with access to the original will have access to the target after the copy.

• Any users or groups who had access to the target prior to the copy but not the original are removed from the access list; if you want them to have access, you must reassign it after the copy is complete.

For example, assume users A and B have access to Report Request 1, and users A and C have access to Report Request 2. If User A copies Report Request 1 to Report Request 2, then following the copy only users A and B will have access to Report Request 2—user C no longer has access.
