A user gets 'entity instance not found' trying to run a specific Quick Report from a screen's RMB menu (Print Highlighted), even though running the exact same report manually works fine and nothing appears in the Debug Console when the user's attempt fails — where is access to run a specific Quick Report actually controlled?

Answer

Every Quick Report automatically gets its own Presentation Object when it's created (findable by querying for the report from the 'Create New Quick Report' screen) — granting a user's Permission Set access to run that report means granting them this specific Presentation Object, not some report-level setting elsewhere. For a SQL-type Quick Report, clicking Publish from the Create New Quick Report screen is the convenient way to do this: it automatically grants the report to every Permission Set that already has access to the underlying database objects the report queries. If the report is already published but a user still can't run it, or if it's not a SQL-type report (so Publish doesn't apply), you'll need to manually grant that report's Presentation Object to the relevant Permission Set from the New Permission Set screen instead.
