In the current patch, the ability to limit which libraries can access a report
is separated from the ability to create reports. The permission 'Manage Report
Limits' was added to allow users besides Superlibrarians to manage who can see
reports. This decouples the report access management from report creation,
which should be a less-disruptive way to add this enhancement and have admins
utilize it; users with the 'Create SQL reports permission' permission will not
automatically be able to limit report access, which would be the case if the
ability to manage filters were tied directly to this permission. 


Regarding which users can see reports outlined in comment 82 (snippet below),
the intention at this point is to limit what's shown in the reports list, but
not limit access to limited reports. The language clarifying the preference in
System preferences, "limiting report access based on staff home library," needs
to be amended to reflect this more clearly. 

From comment 82:
In my test, I can only see report #2, so I run report #2, but then I am curious
about report #1, so I change the URL and now I'm running a report that I'm not
supposed to be able to see.

It's not 100% clear to me at this stage if that's a bug or a feature. I'm
guessing bug, but I figure it's worth asking the question here.
