Exam Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Topic 5 Question 38 Discussion

In Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO), report visibility is controlled byReport Limitation Categories. While standard users are typically restricted to specific categories (e.g., "Finance Reports" or "Network Reports"), administrators often require a global view of all reporting assets.
According to theSolarWinds Platform Documentation on Restricting Report Access, the setting"No Limitation"is the specific value used to bypass all category-based filters. When an account is configured with the "No Limitation" report category, the platform security layer allows that user to see every report stored in the database, including reports marked as "private" or those assigned to specific siloed departments.
It is important to distinguish this from the"Default"setting (Option A), which typically only allows users to see reports that have not been assigned to any specific limitation category. To ensure a Platform Administrator has a truly comprehensive view for auditing or management purposes, the "No Limitation" setting must be explicitly selected in their User Account settings underSettings > All Settings > Manage Accounts > Edit User.
