Reporting 2.0 Permissions Enablement Tool

This functionality is only available in Stage portals until the October '20 Release on 30 October 2020. This functionality is not currently available in Pilot or Production portals.

The Reporting 2.0 Permissions Enablement page allows administrators to enable the equivalent Reporting 2.0 permissions to be added automatically to applicable security roles when a report is migrated from Custom Reports to Reporting 2.0. This instantly gives users the permissions they need to create and view migrated custom reports, without administrators having to assign the permissions manually once a custom report is migrated.

Note: When Reporting 2.0 permissions are added to a security role through the permissions migration tool, the Custom Reports permissions are not removed. The Custom Reports permissions remain assigned to the security role and will continue to be available until the Custom Reports functionality is deprecated with the February '21 release.

To access the Reporting 2.0 Permissions Enablement page, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Core Preferences. This page can only be accessed by the top-level system administrator in the portal.

For information about Reporting 2.0 permissions, see the following:

  • Permissions in Reporting 2.0 - This provides detailed information about Reporting 2.0 permissions.
  • Permissions List - This provides the list of permissions and their relationships so that you know the specific permissions users need to create and view reports.

Enable Permissions

The Reporting 2.0 Permissions Enablement page displays a list of all security roles in the portal that have at least one Custom Report permission included. To enable the equivalent Reporting 2.0 permissions to be added to security roles when a report is migrated from Custom Reports to Reporting 2.0, perform the following steps:

  1. Select one or more security roles from the list.
  2. Click Confirm. This executes the process of migrating the Reporting 2.0 permissions that are equivalent to the Custom Report permissions.
  3. Once the process is completed, a confirmation page opens. Click Confirm to confirm that you want the Reporting 2.0 permissions added to the security roles. This completes the migration process.

Once the migration is completed, the confirmation page lists all the security roles that were included in the migration. The permission migration process is permanent and cannot be reversed through the permission migration tool.

Security Mapping Spreadsheet

The security mapping spreadsheet maps the fields and permissions between Custom Reports and Reporting 2.0. The spreadsheet is available directly from the Permissions Enablement Tool page.

Frequently Asked Questions

All permission constraints that were included in the Custom Reports permissions are also migrated to the Reporting 2.0 permissions.

The Reporting 2.0 permissions that are already included in the security role will remain.

If a permission has constraints prior to being added to the security role, and the existing equivalent permission does not have constraints, the constraints will be added to the existing permission when the enablement process is complete.

No. No changes will be made to the custom report permissions that you have configured in your portal. Permissions are never removed in this process.
