## *Report Types:* This option provides users with access to the Advanced Authoring tools, including the CSV Import.

{color:#CC0000}*Note:*{color} an Administrator will have to define a writable data source as CSV Default storage in order for this permission to be used.
## *Advanced CSV Functionality:* Allows users to select which writable data source they store the CSV data into, rather than using the default option.
