Cause

Table and Canvas reports can only be shared or modified by the author or admin users -> Role-Based Permissions for Accessing and Managing Reports in Report Center

Resolution

This is an expected behavior of the reporting tool.

As a workaround you can duplicate the report. So, a new report will be created with you as the author, however it is required to have the permissions to create reports.
