To allow users to create or modify reports over the Web through the Report Application Server (RAS), you must have RAS Report Modification licenses available on your system. You must also grant users a minimum set of object rights. When you grant users these rights to a report object, they can select the report as a data source for a new report or modify the report directly:
User must also have permission to add objects to at least one folder before they can save new reports back to Crystal Enterprise.
To ensure that users retain the ability to perform additional reporting tasks (such as copying, scheduling, printing, and so on), it's recommended that you first assign the appropriate access level and update your changes. Then, change the access level to Advanced, and add any of the required rights that are not already granted. For instance, if users already have View On Demand rights to a report object, you allow them to modify the report by changing the access level to Advanced and explicitly granting the additional Edit objects right.
When users view reports through the Advanced DHTML viewer and the RAS, the View access level is sufficient to display the report, but View On Demand is required to actually use the advanced search features. The extra Edit objects right is not required.
Tip: For more information about RAS Report Modification licenses, see Licensing overview.
