All users must be named in the system as one of the above types, and then put into groups.

Users' access to preexisting reports is based on the group or groups to which they belong. Most Windows reporting tools create banded reports, designed by laying out formatting information in bands across a page. Enterprise Reporter creates document-style reports, using a designer similar to that on a word processor's screen, allowing the user to place report objects anywhere on the page.
