How to Restrict System Reports
Layouts and system reports are managed by the MIE Developers. However, an admin (with appropriate security permission) can restrict or allow system reports to users and/or departments.
The name of the system report, that the general report points to, will be needed. Please ask application support or your deployment consultant for additional help in finding the system report related to the report you wish to be restricted.
Admins with security permission to add/edit Manage System Reports, can go in the Control Panel, navigate to the System Report hyperlink in the list, or click on the System tab to select System Report sub-tab.
Begin typing the name of the system report and click Search. There may or may not be spaces in the name, but if you need any help, contact application support or your deployment consultant for additional help in finding the system report related to the report you wish to be restricted. HINT: There is also an Advanced search method to find a specific system report.

Once the system report has been located, click the Edit link found to the right, under the Options column. If the option is not available, ensure the admin has Add/Edit permission to Manage System Reports security.
Once in edit mode on the system report, the system report SQL/HTML coding will display in black area, and you need to scroll down to the bottom/end of the system report.
The edit mode of the System Report will default to the Report Info view of the system report.
To restrict a system report, locate and checkmark the Restricted checkbox and then utilize the Allowed Users and/or Allowed Realms (aka: departments) to set any allowed user(s) and/or realm(s)/department(s) to be able to run the report, thus does not allow anyone else to utilize/run the report.
With the Restricted box checked, begin typing any allowed users and/or departments in the appropriate field and select. The allowed user and realm fields are auto-complete fields or drop-downs and you can only make selections from the choices, you cannot free-text. A restricted report can be allowed for entire realms/department or individual users as appropriate. Populate as many as necessary. Any users or realms not listed as allowed will be restricted from this report.
To remove an allowed user and/or department realm, simply highlight the name of the user/realm and click the Remove button, then save your work.
When all Allowed Users/Realms are added, simply click the Save button to save your work of restricting the report. The SAVE button is found at the top of the system report screen.

How to Restrict Menu Items
Some reports are configured to appear as Menu Item tabs within the product.
Thus, the menu item tab can be restricted, instead of the actual system report itself.
Admins with security permission to Manage Menu, can go in the Control Panel, navigate to the Menu Editor hyperlink in the list, or click on the System tab to select Menu Editor sub-tab.
Begin typing the name of the report that is a menu item tab and click Go. HINT: utilize the criteria to be Contains or Begins With, etc.

With the Restricted box checked, begin typing any allowed users and/or departments in the appropriate field and select. The allowed user and realm fields are auto-complete fields or drop-downs and you can only make selections from the choices, you cannot free-text.

When an end user is restricted from a menu item tab, the tab will be hidden from their view since they are not allowed to it. End users who do have allowed permission to the menu item tab, will be able to access the tab.
Or the lack of permission to run the report may appear as a System Report Error message at the top right corner when they try to access/run a report if the report (menu item tab) is still listed in the catch-all list of available reports, with a message that they are restricted from viewing the report.
