What permissions are required for FRx users?

Possible Resolution:

Designer

• Designer users require Read, Read & Execute, Write, and Modify permissions for the FRx program directory, IO_Data directory, and SysData directory.
• If directories other than the IO_Data directory are used for report output, Designer users must also have Read, Read & Execute, Write, and Modify permissions for these additional directories. If users will be restricted to specific companies, it is acceptable for them to be granted permissions for only the company directories they will use.

Report Launcher

• Report Launcher users require Read, Read & Execute, Write, and Modify permissions for the FRx program directory, IO_Data directory, and SysData directory.
• If directories other than the IO_Data directory are used for report output, Report Launcher users must also have Read, Read & Execute, Write, and Modify permissions for these additional directories. If users will be restricted to specific companies, it is acceptable for them to be granted permissions for only the company directories they will use.

DrillDown Viewer

• Local DrillDown Viewer users require Read and Read & Execute permissions for the FRx program directory and IO_Data directory.
• If directories other than the IO_Data directory are used for report output, DrillDown Viewer users must also have Read and Read & Execute permissions for these additional directories. If users will be restricted to specific companies, it is acceptable for them to be granted permissions for only the company directories they will use.
• For use of subtotaling functionality in the DrillDown Viewer, Read and Read & Execute permissions are also required for the SysData directory.
• Remote DrillDown Viewer users (those that use the DrillDown Viewer only on their workstation) do not require any permissions for FRx directories on the network.
• If directories other than the IO_Data directory are used for report output, the user must also have Read, Read & Execute, Write, and Modify permissions for these additional directories.
