Granular Permissions on Reports and Schemes

In addition to the main 3 user groups there are some permissions that are set at a per-user level, in the Reports and Schemes areas. This means that access to cases for a scheme can be limited in Admin > Schemes to a specific subset of users, regardless of their User Type. Similarly, when creating reports, you may give access to those reports to specific subsets of PowerUsers, Underwriters or Administrators, regardless of their User Type.
