Reports are accessed using Tetherfi's OCM (Operation Control Manager) application.  The specific reports that a given user can access is controlled by the roles assigned to that user.  For more information on roles, please see the [Roles](docId\:FSya_Bvujbjw2wgCH3eRV) section.

To access reports, click on the Reporting icon in the upper right corner of the OCM screen.
