Steps to run eAudit, eSig and others Database Configuration reports without grating full access to the application.

 

It is possible to run Database reports without granting FULL access to Database Configuration app.

5. Go to Security Groups and create a new Group. In the example I created the "RUNDBREPORTS" group.
6. In the Applications tab, find the Database Configuration app.
7. Grant Read Access and Run Reports access to this group.
8. Save it.
9. Go to Report Administration app
10. Click Select Action -> Set Application Security

12. Click New Row and add the new security group.
