OneLogin - How to Allow Regular user to create and run reports without administrator privilege assigned to them

Normally, only "Super Users" or "Administrators" can see the reporting tools in the system. A company may have a staff member who needs to pull data reports but should not have the power to delete users, change passwords, or modify security settings.

By default, the "Admin" menu (where reports live) is hidden from standard users to protect the system's security. Without specific permission, a standard user will not see any reporting options when they log in.

To give a standard user access to reports, follow these steps:

Step 1: Define the Permission Navigate to Security > Privileges to create a new privilege specifically for Reports, selecting required actions such as List, Update, Get, and Create to establish a dedicated access rule.

Step 2: Assign the User Within the new privilege settings, go to the Users tab and add the specific individual who requires access, saving the changes to link the permission to their account.

Step 3: The User Logs In Have the user refresh their page or re-authenticate so the system can update their profile; they will then see an Admin tab restricted exclusively to the Reports section.

Verification: You can double-check this by looking at the user’s profile under Delegated Admin Privileges. It should show the name of the report privilege you created and say it was granted "Directly to User." Safety: The user remains a "Standard User" in their profile; they do not become a full Admin, which keeps your system secure.
