Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr / MEMCM / MECM/ SCCM) didn’t always allow for Role-Based Administration (RBA) within reports. This feature was added with the release of System Center 2012 R2 (CM12 R2).

Why would you want to download Report Builder (RB)? I must admit that I don’t use the application an awful lot, but I find it particularly useful when I can’t access my own laptop.
