default = can download summary data

AD Group access can be one of three options:

  1. Developer access

  2. Consumer access - can download summary data and images

  3. Consumer Restricted access - cannot download summary data and images (Tableau only, in Cognos the report developer would set this limitation)

Cognos Example:  Please create a new folder called "EcoTime Reports" and allow AD group "EcoTime_BI_Developer" to publish reports to this folder in DEV.  Please also allow “EcoTime_BI_Developer” and "EcoTime_BI_Consumer" to view these reports in QA and Prod.

Tableau Example:  Please create a new folder called "EcoTime Reports" and allow AD group "EcoTime_BI_Developer" to publish reports to this folder.  Please also allow "EcoTime_BI_DeveloperConsumer" to view these reports in PRODbut NOT download summary data.
