Publishing docs

[system]

…what I think happened is that the original user who exported the documents was a general supervisor, and the new user exporting isn’t. Is this correct?

That is probably what happened.

Also, the new user then deleted the reports from the repository, and re-exported them, causing users who have imported the reports to get the “not authorized to this document error”. How would I correct this error besides having the users re-import their documents?

See this and this from Reporter FAQ here on BOB.

By deleting the old reports and re-exporting new versions, the new versions have new internal “document ids” in the repository – so they are different documents.

And the users with old versions are referencing a document ID that no longer exists – and yes, to be safe, BusObj assumes that the documents, which were secured, are not usable – since it can no longer check whether or not the users are authorized to use them. So they have to reimport the new documents.
