Grant Catalog Permissions

For a role to access an object in the catalog, the role must be granted Read permissions on both the object and the folder in which the object resides.

Permissions can be granted at the folder level and applied to all the objects and subfolders it contains, or applied to individual objects.

To grant catalog permissions to a role:

  1. Navigate to the Catalog.
  2. Locate the folder or object on which to grant permissions and click More. From the menu (shown in the figure below), select Permissions. Alternatively, you can select the folder and click Permissions in the Tasks region.

    Note:

    Permissions cannot be granted on the root Shared folder.

  4. On the Add Roles dialog, enter a search string to find a role, or simply click Search to display all roles. Use the shuttle buttons to move roles from the Available Roles list to the Selected Roles list.
  5. When finished, click OK to return to the Permissions dialog.
  6. On the Permissions dialog, configure the permissions required by the role.

    Note the following:

    • The icon next to the Report Developer role indicates that this role is assigned one of the Publisher functional roles (in this case, the Publisher Developer role).

    • Once the Report Developer role is assigned access to this folder, the following permissions are automatically granted based on the privileges that comprise the Publisher Developer Role: Run report online, Scheduler Report, View Report Output.

  7. If you're granting permissions on a Folder, select Apply permissions to items within this folder, if the permissions should apply to all objects.
