A report was created to contain information wanted by different users, even if the users can view the nodes in the web console. How is access to the report restricted?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In the SolarWinds Platform, visibility of specific reports is managed through Report Limitations. According to the SolarWinds Platform Reporting Guide, even if a user has general permissions to view nodes, an administrator can restrict their access to specific reports to ensure data privacy or to simplify their workspace.

By creating a report limitation, you define a rule---such as filtering by a custom property or report category---and apply it directly to a user's account settings. Once applied, the user will only see the reports that match the criteria of that limitation when they navigate to the Reports section of the Web Console. This is different from a standard Account Limitation (Option D), which restricts the visibility of the nodes themselves across the entire platform. Using a report-specific limitation allows the user to still monitor the nodes in real-time views while preventing them from accessing sensitive historical or inventory data contained in specific PDF or web-based reports.

I practiced a similar question where we had to restrict access, and I think C makes sense since it talks about edit rights.

I remember something about changing content parameters, so A could be a possibility, but it feels a bit vague to me.

I think the answer might be B, but I'm not entirely sure how report limitations work in this context.

I feel like B is the best option since it specifically mentions applying limitations to user accounts, which seems relevant.

I practiced a similar question where we had to limit access, and I chose C, but now I'm questioning if that's the right approach here.

I remember something about restricting access based on user accounts, so D sounds familiar, but it could also be A.
