The JasperReports Server repository stores all the resources used by the system, including content files, data sources, datatypes, images, reports, and system resources such as fonts. The repository is structured as a hierarchy of folders that is based on the hierarchy of organizations. Administering the repository includes the following tasks:
• Creating folders and organizing repository objects.
• Controlling access to objects in the repository using roles, users, and object-level permissions.
• Managing references to data sources, images, fonts, and other resources upon which reports rely.
For more information on the folder structure and the repository, see Navigating the Repository.
