Grant Access to Site/ Site Collection Usage Reports

Question

I need to grant access to users from my Communications department to the Site and Site Collection Usage Reports on SharePoint 2007.

I read this article:

Manage permissions for usage reporting

But do not want to give Full Control Access to them... Any ideas? Workaround?

Answer 1

Got it! In 2007 onwards there is a special permission: View Usage Data - View reports on Web site usage.

Create a new Permission Level with this and you are good to go!
