2) Go to Configuration > Administrators  and click on the name of the user that needs the report rights.
3) On the left hand side of ZCC, under the Administrator Tasks section, click on the link for Inventory Report Rights and Asset Management Report Rights .  Click on the link for the reporting for which rights need to be granted.
4) Select the folders for which the user needs rights to, and from the Edit drop down menu select Assign Full Rights .
