    Default only admins can create reports in 5.2?

    I recently upgraded from 5.0 to 5.2 and found out that only my users with admin privileges can create or edit reports. I have a role established for my non-admins that gives them the following report privileges:

    Access: Enabled
    Access Type: Normal
    Delete: Owner
    Edit: Owner
    List: All
    View: All

    They do not have the option to add reports, and when they try to edit or duplicate a report they own, the get an error message stating that they don't have the permission and to contact an admin.

    I ran a repair on both the Roles and Reports module but it has not corrected the issue. To be clear: users had the correct permissions before I upgraded. They lost access after the upgrade. My version is Sugar Professional Version 5.2.0a (Build 5447)

    Any thoughts?

    Try to reset user preferences for one of the users which has no access to Reports module.

    Resetting user preferences did not fix this problem. If no one else seems to be experiencing the same problem, I'll probably just bite the bullet and open a Support ticket. I just prefer DIY fixes, especially if it turns out that there's an obvious solution...

    Just to clarify, the users have access to the module. They can still run pre-existing reports. They just don't seem to have permission to edit their own reports, or create new ones, even though they have a role specifically giving them that authority.

    Actually, I just removed all roles from my test user and it now has the proper access. It seems to be something about the role that's messing it up

    Could it be that they are restricted from the modules they are trying to report on?

    I am experiencing the same problem. Its seems that the role edit permission has also to be set to All to be able to create a report.

    Hi all,
    I have a question concerning security issues and user permissions as well.
    I use iReport 3.5 and when I run a report it generates the output file within the archive folder (modules/ZuckerReports/archive)
    Anyone can access those files directly via the browser if he 'guesses' the names.
    Am I just stupid or is this a real problem?
