Exam Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Topic 5 Question 75 Discussion

In the SolarWinds Platform, report access is governed by both functional permissions and account limitations.
While "Disable Manage Reports" (Option B) prevents a user from editing or creating reports, it does not necessarily hide the "Reports" menu or prevent the user from viewing existing reports they have access to. To completely remove the visibility and accessibility of all reports for a specific user account, anAccount Limitationmust be applied.
According to theSolarWinds Platform User Account Managementdocumentation, account limitations act as a security filter that restricts what the user can see throughout the entire Web Console. By navigating toSettings
> All Settings > Manage Accounts, selecting the user, andediting theirReport Limitation, an administrator can choose "No Reports". This configuration ensures that when the user logs in, the Reports section will either be empty or completely hidden from their navigation bar, regardless of their other permissions. This is the most effective method for high-security environments or multi-tenant deployments where certain users should have zero visibility into the historical performance data or inventory summaries contained within the reporting engine.
