• Who has access privileges to send report requests to this Oracle Reports Server

• When this Reports Server is available to accept report requests

• What destination types are available to this Report Server

Notes

• The Reports Server must be installed and configured. For more information, refer to the OracleAS Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web manual.

• To make additional printers accessible to this Reports Server, click Oracle Reports Security Settings (on Administer tab of Portal Builder Page). In the Reports Printer Access portlet, click Create Reports Printer Access.
  
• The user groups that require access to run a report against this server are created automatically during installation. They include:
  • RW_BASIC_USER
    
  • RW_POWER_USER
    
  • RW_DEVELOPER
    
  • RW_ADMINISTRATOR
    All users, by default, are members of RW_BASIC_USER. Your OracleAS Portal Administrator is responsible for adding users to the other groups (which carry higher access privileges). For an explanation of the privileges assigned to each of these groups, see OracleAS Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web included on the OracleAS documentation CD.

• If you want to restrict the days and times this Oracle Reports Server is available to accept report requests, then an availability calendar must be defined. Click Oracle Reports Security Settings (on Administer tab of Portal Builder page), and then either Create Reports Simple Calendar Access or Create Reports Combined Calendar Access.
