How Administrator can promote reports

On the Open Report Panel,  Administrator has 4 tabs: Unpublished Reports, Reports by Menu, Reports by Template and Recent Reports. Unpublished Reports section includes the reports, which were created but not published yet. These reports are sorted by the user names, who created the reports.  To publish a report Administrator needs to place it in the menu by selecting the report and clicking on the gaer gear that will appear.

Once the report is published by the AdmninistratorAdministrator, the Report Builder cannot edit it anymoreany more. If after publishing the report the Administrator decides whether Report Builder  will be able to see the report.
