Reports Module - can we limit by role which modules they can report on?

Hi Annie, 

Thanks for your post!

If you use Roles to restrict access to a module, they will be unable to report on that module. But that also means that they won't be able to access the module at all.

Otherwise, if they have access to the module, they can, indeed, report on it.

If you're trying to make sure your users do not export data, you could also use Roles to restrict their ability to export, it should restrict the exporting of reports, as well as exporting from the record view, list view, etc.

You can read more about Roles here: https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Versions/12.2/Sell/Administration_Guide/Role_Management/ 

Hope this helps!

Thanks Raye, wish there was an option to give access to module, but remove ability to report on it. But worth reviewing again. thanks

Not what you are looking for, but a possible workaround:

we restrict who in each team can build reports, by Role, and they restrict who can use them by leveraging Teams in the report definition.
