When Report Builder views the reports, created by other users (published reports), he cannot modify them. Report Settigs tabs are displayed in read-only mode. In the same way he cannot modify the lists and the formats, used for such reports.

Report Builder can build reports using existing lists or creating linked lists

When Report Builder decides to build a report by using the existing (Shared) lists, these lists will appear as read-only in the Content Panel. Repport Settings become available for modifications.

When Report Builder creates a copy of his own report lists (but not drill lists), this list will be copied together with all drill lists linked to it. To make the drill list be used in several reports Report Builder should create it on report level first and then copy it in any report he wants.

How Administrator can promote reports

On the Open Report Panel,  Administrator has 4 tabs: Unpublished Reports, Reports by Menu, Reports by Template and Recent Reports. Unpublished Reports section includes the reports, which were created but not published yet. These reports are sorted by the user names, who created the reports.  To publish a report Administrator needs to place it in the menu by selecting the report and clicking on the gaer that will appear.
