Domain administrators can link a security group to one or more /wiki/spaces/SEPADMINHELP/pages/22189182. This helps administrators manage permissions in Special Programs based on a user's permissions within the domain.
Reports Privileges
Report privileges allow administrators to determine who can create or edit public standard reports and who can create private standard reports.
To access a report, users need View privilege. An exception is that you can grant access to specific student list reports to Caseload-Only user profiles, where the information is filtered to the user's caseload. In addition, you can specify which security groups can view an individual standard report.
