Resolution

When you run reports from Reports and Jobs, in the background it calls the scheduler API and generated the report in Jaspersoft under folder CA PPM Reports Output which exist in Jaspersoft. Once the report is generated the output is copied to clarity. Hence in order to run report from Reports and Jobs below are the rights needed 

 

1. From user Global Rights add Advanced Reporting - Navigate & Advanced Reporting - Report Create
2. Reports - Access allows you to open the Available Reports page.
3. Reports - View Output - All allows you to view all report output.
4. Report - Run instance-level access right lets you run a specific report and view the output.
5. Reports - Run All global access right allows users to run any report.
6. Add to one of the CA PPM PMO Advanced Reporting groups or a CA PPM group. Group inclusion handles the required Jaspersoft role assignment. (Example: Key Task and Milestone Status then you will need PMO Advanced Reporting Project Management) 

Note: We have created out of box groups and descriptions about the group is documented
