Using Report Templates
Report templates are available to provide built-in reports tailored to the type of user accessing them. For example:
- Administrators and users with the Report Templates Administrator permission can see all report templates.
- Data owners can only see templates that are shared with them.
- Non-administrators or non-data owners do not see any report templates.
To use File Access Manager’s built-in report templates for standard and customized reports, navigate to Reports > Report Templates screen on the File Access Manager website.

You can assign one or more tags per report to help find them later.
