Report Source Authorization

Whether or not a user can see a report of a specific report source can depend on a number of things. These things are different in the legacy authorization model and the new one, profile-based permissions.

In the legacy model, whether you can see a report source could depend on the following:

  • Standard group membership (for example, Organization, Resource)
  • Entity ownership or team membership (for example, specific project or portfolio)
  • User type (for example, full, team, request)

There is no concept of row-level permissions in the legacy model. That was added for profile-based permissions. In profile-based permissions, the standard group membership doesn't matter - in fact, we have made several of those groups obsolete. Instead, row-level permissions are applied onto the data. In other words, you can run a report and get no data back because you lack permissions on any entities in the report.

The table below lists the criteria for viewing/using a report source using the profile-based permissions model. Users new to the PPM Pro product can ignore the "Legacy" columns.
