How This Affects the Reporting Experience: These Permissions expose or enable various dialogs, tabs, and features in the user interface that are presented during Request design or execution. These permissions are normally set in the Report Set Permissions. This screen allows you to override the settings for this specific user.
User Privileges
Note: Uncheck the box next to any permission you want to hide when a Designer or End-User is using Foxfire!
Override Active Report Set Permissions: This must be checked for any of the other settings on this page to take effect. If this is not checked, the Report Set Permissions will control this user’s permissions.

| New/Rename Folders | Must be checked for the user to be able to create and rename folders |
| Delete Folders | Must be checked to allow the user to delete folders |

| Export | Must be checked to allow the user to export Requests |
| Basic – Filter Results | Modifies the behavior of the Filter Results tab in the Workbench |
| Parens in Filter | Use parenthesis in a filter to alter the normal evaluation sequence of the conditions. This enables a more skilled user to create very precise or complex filter clauses |
| First X Items | Retrieve just the First X Items on a report. X can be either a quantity or a percentage |
| Basic – Sort/Group Selection | Allows a user to specify options that occur when a data group changes in a report type Request |
| Appearance Options | Specify appearance options that appear when a data group changes |
| Summary Calculations | Add or remove summary calculations (including default calculations specified in the data dictionary) that occur when a data group changes |

| Edit Layouts | Allow user to save permanent format changes to a report layout (FRX). Layouts are normally generated dynamically during Request execution. If a layout is edited as a result of this Permission, it is saved as an FRX file in the Reports folder and is used instead of dynamically generating the report layout when a Request using the saved format is executed |
| Allow Alt Layouts | Substitute a previously defined layout file (FRX) in place of the dynamically generated layout or current pre-defined layout |
