What happens when the "Run Reports" permission is granted to external users?

1. They get full access to all reports

2. They can see report options on the run report page

3. They can create new reports

4. They can view report dashboards

The correct answer is: They can see report options on the run report page

When external users are granted the "Run Reports" permission, they gain the ability to access and utilize report options, specifically on the run report page. This means they can view existing reports and run them to generate data insights based on the available reports shared with them. This permission does not provide full access to all reports, ensuring that sensitive or unrelated data remains secure and out of reach from external users. It also does not allow them to create new reports or access dashboards directly unless those permissions are specifically granted. Thus, this permission is designed to facilitate data exploration while maintaining control over what external users can do within the reporting framework.
