Set up for non admin users to create reporting pages

If a user is not an administrator for a FAST application, you can create a non admin role so they can create their own custom reporting pages. The setup must be done within the FAST application they are creating the pages in. The process includes creating the role, adding the role to menus, and assigning the role to users. After the user has created the reporting page, only they and ADMINS can see the report until it has been approved.

Setup non admin users so they can create reporting pages:

Open the FAST application you are creating the roles in.
