Log in as the administrator and as each user that you created in Creating User Accounts, and make sure that you can view the right reports for the category and permission settings.
Log in as the administrator
When you log in with an account that has been set up as Administrator, you can confirm or adjust your report settings. With administrative privileges, you can see all of the reports, and change categories and permissions as needed. 
When you log in as administrator, the Report Portal looks like this. 
In Setting Report Permissions, we placed reports for each department in the Quick Start category. When we click Quick Start in the left pane as an administrator, reports for all of the departments are displayed. 
Log in as a Sales department member
Log in as joe, a member of the Sales department, and when you click Quick Start in the left pane, you see only two reports. Because Joe is a member of the Sales role, only reports that the Sales role is authorized to see appear in the list. For more information on managing users and roles, please refer to Managing Security in the product help. 
Also, when you click Quick Start, then HR in the left pane, only the Employee Directory report appears. Since the Employee Directory report has been set up with Read permissions for each department, you can view this report. However, since the Sales department has only Read permissions, the Delete button does not appear. 
Note: If the content displays differently for you, please review the Sales role settings in Setting Report Permissions. If you're seeing too many reports, check your setting for the Everyone role on the reports.
Log in as a Product Manager
Log in as jimmy, a member of the Product Managers role, to see these three reports when you click the Quick Start category in the left pane. Because Jimmy is a member of the Product Managers role, only reports that the Product Managers role is authorized to see appear in the list. In other words, the reports displayed for Joe in the Sales role are not displayed for Jimmy in the Product Managers role. 
Also, if you click HR in the left pane under Quick Start, you can see the Employee Directory report in the same way that Joe could. Note: If the content displays differently for you, please review the Product Managers role settings in Setting Report Permissions.
Log in as Human Resources
When you log in as jennifer, a member of the Human Resources role, and click the Quick Start category in the left pane, no reports appear. Because Jennifer is a member of the Human Resources role, only reports that the Human Resources role is authorized to see appear in the list. In other words, the reports displayed for Joe in the Sales role and for Jimmy in the Product Managers role do not appear for Jennifer. 
Also, if you click HR in the left pane under Quick Start, you can see the Employee Directory report. But as a Human Resources role member, you can also see the Delete button, because you have full access permissions.
