Reports Permission: Full Access & De-Linking Scheduling Reports
The new Reports permission, Full Access, allows someone to delete anyone's custom reports. That should be isolated to Admins, since that's dangerous. However, without this permission, no one can schedule their own report. That's not dangerous, and I would like to give that to most anyone. Can we de-link scheduling reports from the Full Access permission?

In essence an "all or nothing" permission. Full access enabled: Can do anything to any one. Full Access disabled: can't do anything to anything (even for yourself) except Run, filter, and export. Want to add a field to make this perfect for you needs? Need to call someone.
For custom reports, administration should be decoupled from development and in custom reports staff should always, always, be in full control of their own work.

Full agreement Joel. We were stumped by this new permission and are still trying to wrap our heads around it. But it seems that if you do not have Full Access, you can no longer create a report. Is that how it is supposed to be working? If yes, then we are wondering what the report permission choice of "Edit Custom Report" now is supposed to be? This new permission has created more confusion than helped us, I'm afraid.

Admin logins should be the only access that can delete or edit anyone's reports. Anyone should have access to schedule. Thanks for spotting this Joel, I completely missed the update. Permissions are so important, giving more access to a group is dangerous without making sure a system administrator knows this.
