These include the following: · Inherited Rights · No Access · View · Schedule · View On Demand · Full Control · Advanced In addition to setting user and group rights for report objects from the Objects management area, you can also set user and group rights at the folder level.

Crystal Enterprise Administrator's Guide 195 Managing a report object and its instances Specifying servers for scheduling You have the option of specifying the default job servers that Crystal Enterprise will use when scheduling and processing report instances. You can also specify the default job servers for Crystal Enterprise to use when you view a report. You can choose your settings so that Crystal Enterprise will use the first available server, attempt to use the servers belonging to a selected group first (and, if the servers from that group aren't available, use any available server), or use only servers that belong to a specific group. By selecting a particular server or server group, you can balance the load of your scheduling or viewing, as specific reports can be processed using specific job servers.
