2.1.1 Understanding the Reporting Rights

The ZENworks super administrator can assign the Execute/Publish Reports or the Create/Delete
Reports rights for a folder or a Web Intelligence document to other administrators.
For an administrator, if a particular right is assigned to a folder, all the subfolders or reports
contained within that folder have the same right, unless specific rights are assigned to them. If no
rights are explicitly assigned to an administrator, the administrator can only view the list of all the
reports.
Execute/Publish Report Right: Allows the administrator to schedule reports and manage
historical report instances.This right does not allow administrators to create or delete reports or
folders within the folder on which the right is conferred. However, the administrator can copy
the reports from one folder to another if the administrator has the Create/Delete Reports right
on the destination folder.
Create/Delete Report Right: Includes the Execute/Publish Report right. It allows the
administrators to create, modify, or delete Web Intelligence documents and folders contained
within the folder on which the right is conferred.
For more information about how to assign reporting rights, see
Rights to Administrators," on page 16.
