How can you ensure that only managers view the Employee vacation requests report in their portal dashboards?

The suggestion to add the report to a public category and ensure it appears on the out-of-the-box Reports landing page in the Manager portal is a sound approach for limiting visibility to a specific user group, in this case, managers. By placing the report in a public category accessible through the Manager portal's standard Reports landing page, you ensure that only those with access to the Manager portal—typically the managerial staff—can view the vacation requests. This solution effectively leverages the existing structure and permissions of the portal, aiming for both accessibility for managers and security for sensitive information.

Using a public category aligns with the common practice of categorizing reports in a way that they can be easily accessed by users who need them without overcomplicating permissions. Consequently, this keeps the report management simple and is more maintainable compared to other options that may involve specific, detailed restrictions or adjustments.

By contrast, placing the report in a private category would prevent any managers from accessing it unless specifically shared with them, which goes against the goal of making it available to all managers. Restricting access to the report by department would create complications if managers across multiple departments need to view the same report. Making the report available only to HR personnel completely excludes managers from accessing information
