  5. In order to assign privileges to the report, click on the privileges tab next to the copy tab. By default, Copy current privileges and visibility checkbox will be checked which will retain the same privileges and visibility of the original report in the copied version.
  6. If you want to assign privileges, uncheck Copy current privileges and visibility checkbox.
  7. The user can select other users/roles with whom the copied design will shared from the list of available users/roles or search them in the search user/roles bar.
  8. Visibility is used to mention who all can view the report and is of following three types:-
    • Private:- It means only the current user / actual owner can view the file.
