Report Access Control via Assignments and Levels

Access to individual Blitz Reports for standard users can be precisely controlled using several assignment levels . These levels include Site (all users in the system), Application (users with a matching application via their responsibilities), Request Group (users with a responsibility linked to the assignment request group), Responsibility, and individual User inclusion or exclusion . You can also assign access based on the Operating Unit, where users must have access to the assigned OU via MOAC or the ‘MO: Operating Unit’ profile .

This secondary restriction is managed by the profile option ‘Blitz Report Restrict Assignments by Operating Unit Level’ . If you set this profile option to ‘Yes’, users require access to the assignment operating unit *in addition* to meeting the requirement for the assignment application or request group to access that particular report . This adds an extra level of control often necessary in multi-org environments .

Yes, you should utilize the Assignment function under Tools . This tool allows you to mass-assign multiple reports to a single assignment level . Additionally, you can use the assignment value LOV within this tool to review all existing assignments efficiently . You can also programmatically manage assignments by exporting and importing them using the Assignments export option .

The default assignments are loaded automatically during the first installation and during upgrades if the profile option ‘Blitz Report Load Default Assignments during Upgrades’ is set to ‘Yes’ . To hide specific Enginatics reports during a phased rollout while keeping the default assignments, you can simply disable those reports either manually or by executing a SQL script .

When you use the ‘Copy Report’ function (Tools > Copy Report) to create a new report version, only the report definition itself is duplicated . Neither the existing Assignments nor the Category assignments are carried over to the new copy . You will need to manually re-establish these links for the copied report .
