i think you need to configure under Launch Pad, then only Manager's will be able to access the reports.in this launch pad under manager self-service reporting note, you can create a new folder to add all the reports that you want to be accessed by the managers. quoting below the help available under this node for ready reference
"In this IMG activity, you define the applications (links to reports, transactions, URLs) for the Launchpad iView .
For additional information, see the SAP Library under SAP ERP Central Component -> Business Packages/Functional Packages -> Business Package for Common Parts -> Launchpad.
Standard settings
If you are using the Hierarchy then the object types of the hierarchy are displayed as object nodes. The object nodes in this case form the first level of the subdivision of the launchpad. For the Business Unit Analyst you can determine the selection of object types under Business Unit Analyst 2.0 (mySAP ERP) -> Hierarchy -> Set Hierarchy. You cannot change the selection for the Manager Self-Service.
Activities
When you execute the IMG activity for the first time or have not yet saved any settings, you need to decide whether you want to use the Hierarchy. If you do want to use the hierarchy, proceed as follows:
1. Select an object node. When you do this, other pushbuttons are displayed.
2. You can assign all applications directly to the object node. In addition, you can group the launchpad by creating new folders. The folders are used in the portal as headers for the links to the applications.
Choose New Folder. Enter a text for the new folder, and choose Enter. The folder is added below the selected node.
3. To create applications, select the object node or the folder to which you want to assign the applications, and choose New Application.
4. Enter the required data.
5. Select the application category. Depending on your selection additional input fields are displayed, which you can use to specify or select the parameters of the application.
6. If you want to enter a description that is displayed in the portal under the link but is to be longer than 255 characters, choose Editor for Description to the right of the field Descript..
7. Enter the System Alias (except for URL).
If you donot want to use the hierarchy, first select the uppermost node if this has not already been selected. The uppermost node then takes over the functions of the object node. You can therefore assign folders and applications direct to this node without a hierarchy.
The inactive applications folder is used for collecting the applications that are available in the portal, but that you do not want to display. These applications are displayed in the"
