Hi @Lawler, Bill,

2. Navigate to the Folder you want to upload the file.
3. Manage Folder Permissions
   • Click on the ellipsis (...) next to the folder and choose Manage.
   • Select Security from the left panel.

Add a New User or Group

• Click Add group or user.
• Enter the Windows username or group name (e.g., DOMAIN\UserName).
• Assign the role "Content Manager" or "Publisher":
• Content Manager → Full control (including deleting reports)
• Publisher → Can only upload and overwrite reports
