If a user has constrained access to a report field, what happens to the data they see?

• A. Data that the user has access to
• B. All data in the data set
• C. Data the administrator approves
• D. Data only from the last quarter

Answer: (A)

Access controls drive what a user can see in a report. When a report field is constrained, the system enforces that user's permissions for that field, so only the data the user is authorized to view is shown. Values outside their access are hidden or masked, and the rest of the dataset is limited to what they can view. It isn’t about showing all data, waiting for an admin approval, or forcing a specific time window—those would be separate filters or controls. The result is precisely the data the user has access to.
