In SAP Fieldglass, Report Folders are used to group similar reports for easy access. However, Report Folders are also a means of restricting who can view those reports.
Report visibility is affected by many factors including User Role and feature access permissions. For instance, an organization will likely have different User Roles for Hiring Managers, Human Resources, and the Program Office. Reporting needs across these different types of users will likely vary, so being able to associate only certain reports that cater to specific User Role audiences is helpful. Report Folders are one means of ensuring only the appropriate users have access to certain reports.
