Minimal permission required for users to be able to access Report Center (the Reporting tab):

1. Navigate to Admin Centre >Set user Permissions >  Manage Role Permissions;
2. Search for and Choose the desired permission role;
3. Click Permission;
4. Under User Permissions, go to Reports Permission;
5. Select the 'Report Centre' option. This is mandatory for users to be able to even see the Reporting tab;
6. The 'Schedule Reports' permission is optional. It allows users to schedule reports they own and the ones shared with them.

Notes:

• The 'Report Centre' permission will only grant access to Report Centre itself, thus it does not have any target population associated.
• The 'Schedule Reports' permission does not depend on or impact the 'Legacy Report Distributor' access.
• Access to 'Legacy Report Distributor' will still depend on Permission > Analytics Permissions > Report Distributor
• The ability to create or run different reports (Table, Canvas, Dashboard and Tiles) will depend of the end user's permissions for the same.
• To know more about the report framework specific permissions, check the following SAP Help portal document: Role-Based Permissions for Using Report Center.
  

How to determine if users have the Report Centre permission as shown above:

Using a 'Role Based Permission: Permission to User' Table Report:

• • It is possible to build such a report from scratch. However, it might be a cumbersome process to filter for 'Report Centre' permission due to caching limitations with the 'By My Selection' filter option.
  • For your convenience, a report has been created which will fetch the user details and corresponding Permission role(s) of users with Report Centre access:

1. 1. Download this attachment - ReportCentrePermissions - Table Report
   2. Navigate to Reporting and Import the report definition file (attachment) downloaded
   3. Run the uploaded Report

Example output:

Notes: 

• This method can only be performed by a user who has already been granted access to Report Centre and can create and run Table reports for the 'Permission to User' module
• Feel free to edit the columns in the report or the People Scope
• Editing the existing filter in the report however, might break the report's core logic and the report might stop yielding the expected results.

Using 'User Role Search':

1. You want to know if the user 'sfadmin' has access to Report Centre;
2. Navigate to Admin Centre > Set User Permissions > User Role Search;
3. Enter the Access User, Permission Category, Permission type (A Target user is not required here as access to the Report Centre tab does not have any target population associated to itself.);
4. Select Search Roles. In this case, the user 'sfadmin' gets Report Centre access through the two roles 'System Admin' and 'Employee Self Service'.

More on User Role Search can be found in KBA 2229272 - Checking User Permissions (for example Report Permission) via User Role Search.
