Hi Ashley,
Mark is correct that checking to hide a report under a role's user permissions only hides the access to the report. It doesn't restrict the user from access that report via a direct link. As if they have reporting and data access permissions the system believes they can access that data and even build their own copy of that report. The easiest way to restrict access to a report is to make sure it includes a field that users in that role do not have access to. This restriction of the data then prevents those users from accessing the report. I hope this information is helpful Ashely.
