Question #: 59
Topic #: 2
Which two of the following report functions require report management permissions? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer

SolarWinds distinguishes between "viewing" reports and "managing" them through account permissions.
According to theSolarWinds Platform User Account Managementguides, standard users can typically view, run, and export reports that they have access to.
However, administrative actions that affect the system's resource usage or global configurations require the Manage Reportspermission:
* Modify report schedule (C): Only users with management rights can create, edit, or delete the schedules that automatically email reports to recipients. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized users from flooding mail servers or accessing sensitive data via automated delivery.
* Change report timing (A): This refers to editing the "Time Period" or "Schedule" settings within a report's core definition. Altering these parameters changes the report for all users, so it is restricted to those with "Manage" rights.
Exporting a report(Option B) andrunning an existing report(Option D) are fundamental "read-only" actions available to any user who has been granted report viewing rights.
