What is the best method for an administrator to grant access to additional users for a shared report folder?

Granting access to additional users for a shared report folder is most efficiently accomplished by directly sharing the folder with the new users. This method ensures that these users gain immediate access to all reports within the folder without the need for additional configuration. Sharing the folder directly is a streamlined way to manage access, as it allows the administrator to control permissions at the folder level, making it easy to maintain consistency for all users who require access to the same set of reports.

This approach is preferable because it minimizes administrative overhead. Once the folder is shared, any modifications or updates to the reports contained within that folder will automatically be reflected for all users, providing a more cohesive experience and reducing the chances of missed reports due to having to share them individually.

In contrast, unsharing and resharing the folder or sharing each report individually introduces unnecessary complexity and could lead to access discrepancies or administrative errors. Manually adding users to the access list also lacks the efficiency and practicality of directly sharing with a group, especially as the number of users increases. Therefore, sharing the folder directly with the additional users is the most effective method.
