Problem:
Right now the minimum Apptio BI permission set enables all users to create their own reports from scratch or duplicate existing reports to customer further. There is no way to ensure all reports have been fully vetted and validated by subject matter experts. This can lead to incorrect metrics, conclusions and insights being taken from a report that was created ad-hoc and didn't go through formal validation processes. This also can lead to report sprawl, difficulty telling what reports can are considered "official" vs not, increased administration and maintenance. A view only user personal who can access existing reports but not create their own is a standard pattern that seems to have been missed in this tool.
Request:
Expand the permissions defined for Apptio BI within access administration such that a custom role can be created that only allows a user to view and ineract with Apptio BI reports that have been shared with them, but they cannot created any net new report content on their own. This will reduce report sprawl, enable governance of reporting assets that require strict review and ensure new report content goes through required validation and approval processes.
