KB440057: How to grant permissions to users so they can execute graph reports and change the graph style without granting any other permissions in MicroStrategy Web and Developer

This article explains how to grant permissions to users so they can execute graph reports and change the graph style in MicroStrategy Web and Developer.

Administrators may want to allow a user to execute a graph report and change the graph style without granting any other privileges in Strategy Developer and Strategy Web.
 
To grant these privileges to the end users, follow these steps:
Create a graph report. Make sure that the users are included in the Access Control List of all the objects included in the report with at least 'View' permissions. Save and close the report as a graph report, as shown below:

Under the Administration icon, go to the User Manager and open the User Editor for the desired Users/Groups, as shown below:

Go to the Project Access tab. If the end users will access the graph reports through Strategy Developer, go to the Developer privileges section and grant the 'Format graph' privilege, as shown below:

If the end users will access the Graph reports through Strategy Web, go to the Web Analyst section and grant the 'Web simple graph formatting' privilege, as shown below:

Log in as one of the users inside the specified group and run the graph report. As shown below, the user is able to execute the report and to change the graph style, but he does not have any other privilege available:
