These Permissions expose or enable various dialogs, tabs, and features in the user interface that are presented during Request design or execution. They can be overridden for individual users by setting the User Permissions in the User Manager.
Note: Uncheck the box next to any permission you want to hide when a Designer or End-User is using Foxfire!
Report Set Permissions

| Change Requests | Modify existing Requests |
| Delete Requests | Delete existing 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 |
| Advanced – Access to Tools | Restricts the user’s access to certain Tools |
| Change Report Sets | Change Report Sets (i.e. move between Report Sessions) during a Foxfire! Session |
| Manage Batches | Create, Edit and Schedule Batches of Requests (a batch is a set of one or more Requests that can be run in a specific order on demand or at scheduled times) |
| Update Dictionary | Update the Data Dictionary during Request design by using the Edit Data Item Details dialog |
| Stored SQL | Store the SQL statement created by Foxfire! during Request execution and allow user to edit it later |

| 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 |
| Choose Alternate Layouts | Substitute a previously defined layout file (FRX) in place of the dynamically generated layout or current pre-defined layout |
| Choose Alternate Subdirs | Place report layouts (FRX files) in an alternate directory |
