Exam Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Topic 5 Question 17 Discussion

Access control for reporting in Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO) is highly granular, allowing administrators to define exactly what a "standard" (non-admin) user can do within the reporting module. According to the SolarWinds Platform User Account Managementguides, three distinct restrictions can be applied:
* Preventing Access to All Reports (A): By setting a "Report Limitation" on the user account to "No Reports," the entire module is effectively hidden from the user.
* Preventing Access to Reports by Other Users (B): This is a privacy and security feature.
Administrators can configure report permissions so that users can only see the reports they have created or those explicitly shared with them, hiding the potentially sensitive custom reports created by other teams.
* Preventing Access to the Report Manager (C): The "Report Manager" is the administrative interface used to create, schedule, and delete reports. By removing the "Manage Reports" permission from a user account, you allow them toviewandrunexisting reports but prevent them from accessing the management tools required to modify them.
Option D is logically incorrect because if a user has access to reports at all, they must be able to see the ones they are authorized for; "preventing access to their own reports" while allowing others would not be a standard security use case.
