Managing Privileges
Logi 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 Logi 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. In order to publish resources, users must at the same time have both Publish privilege and Write permission. By default, only the role "administrators" and the user account "admin" have the Publish and Advanced Properties privileges.
