What can lead to losing access to report folders?

1. Modifying permissions for roles and public groups.

2. Changing the report type.

3. Restricting dashboard settings.

4. Moving reports into a different folder.

The correct answer is: Modifying permissions for roles and public groups.

Losing access to report folders can occur due to modifications in permissions for roles and public groups. In Salesforce, user access to report folders is governed primarily by the sharing settings associated with user roles and public groups. If these permissions are changed — for example, if a role’s level of access to a folder is reduced or if a user is removed from a public group that grants access to the folder — then those users will lose their ability to view or manage the reports contained within that folder. The other options may impact reports or dashboards but do not directly lead to loss of access to report folders. For instance, changing the report type can affect the data and fields displayed in a report, but it does not change folder access rights. Similarly, adjusting dashboard settings may influence how dashboards are displayed or who can view them, but it generally does not alter access to report folders themselves. Moving reports into a different folder could change their accessibility depending on the permissions set for that new folder, but it does not inherently cause a loss of access due to permission changes.
