Managing privileges

JReport Server offers these types of privileges for users, groups, and roles: Publish and Advanced Properties. Users that are granted the Publish privilege will be able to publish resources to JReport Server, while users that have the privilege of Advanced Properties are allowed to view advanced information of version properties such as catalog connections and report related resources.

To manage privileges, you must be a member of the administrator role in order to access the JReport Administration page. Then,

1. On the JReport Administration page, click Security on the system toolbar and select Realm from the drop-down menu.
2. In the Realm panel, select the realm which contains the roles/groups/users you want to grant privilege for.
3. Click Security on the system toolbar and select Privilege from the drop-down menu to display the Privilege panel. See the panel.

   

   You can now grant and remove role/group/user privileges in the panel.
