How do I give users access to reports and inquiries?
Description

Permissions for individual reports differ from those for the Report Manager. The Report Manager adds, edits, and deletes reports from each application’s menu. You can find these permissions in the task list for each application. For instance, to permit a role to use the report manager for Accounts Payable, check the Reports box under the Accounts Payable task section.
