Do you have additional people who need access? Contact Trina Kopacka at gro.a1780834627dca@a1780834627kcapo1780834627KT1780834627 and provide their name, title, role, and email address.
Because the reports will be in a Google Folder, for best results, you will need a Gmail or another Google account to access them.
