JasperReports Server provides a powerful and flexible environment for deploying and running JasperReports. The repository stores all the resources used to run and create reports, including data source definitions, JRXML files, datatypes, and helper files such as images. Administrators create the folders and resources so users can create, run, and save the reports they need. For administrators who want to customize the user interface, the repository also holds the CSS and image files that define themes.

If you don’t see some of the options described in this section, your license may prohibit you from using them.

The repository is structured as a hierarchy of folders based on the hierarchy of organizations. The JasperReports Server web interface enables you to browse the repository’s resources, manage its folder structure, and secure its contents. This chapter covers the basic tasks of administering the repository, including:
| • | Creating folders and organizing repository objects. |
| • | Managing references to data sources, images, fonts, and other resources upon which reports rely. |
| • | Controlling access to resources in the repository through roles and object-level permissions. |
