Rights

When you import folders and reports from one Crystal Enterprise system to another, the associated object rights are imported for every user or group who is imported at the same time. If the user or group is not imported at the same time, the object rights are discarded. For instance, suppose that you import a report that explicitly grants View On Demand rights to the Everyone group in the source environment—but you do not import the Everyone group. In this case, the newly imported report in the destination environment will not grant the same explicit rights to the Everyone group. Instead, the report inherits any rights that have been set on its parent folder.

If you do import the appropriate user or group, and it already exists by name in the destination environment, then the corresponding object rights are imported and applied to the existing user or group. For instance, modifying the example above, suppose that you import the report and the Everyone group. In this case, the Crystal Import Wizard imports the object rights along with the report. So the newly imported report in the destination environment will explicitly grant the View On Demand right to the Everyone group.
