A report was created to contain information wanted by different users, even if the users can view the nodes in the web console. How is access to the report restricted?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
In the SolarWinds Platform, visibility of specific reports is managed throughReport Limitations. According to theSolarWinds Platform Reporting Guide, even if a user has general permissions to view nodes, an administrator can restrict their access to specific reports to ensure data privacy or to simplify their workspace.
By creating a report limitation, you define a rule-such as filtering by a custom property or report category- and apply it directly to a user's account settings. Once applied, the user will only see the reports that match the criteria of that limitation when they navigate to the Reports section of the Web Console. This is different from a standardAccount Limitation(Option D), which restricts the visibility of the nodes themselves across the entire platform. Using a report-specific limitation allows the user to still monitor the nodes in real-time views while preventing them from accessing sensitive historical or inventory data contained in specific PDF or web- based reports.
