Morning Andrea!

Can you confirm a few things:
  1. You are testing as a different user using the "test this app as.." option, not setting the filter on the report to a specific user?
  2. Do you have any role permissions configured that would contradict your filters?
  3. I would also try switching your "Area Admins" filter to "contains" versus "is equal to".

Is their a filter option to say "includes" the current user?

    Hi Mark, yes, it does have a filter option for includes current user. I've tried that as well and run into the same issues as I do when using the "is equal to" filter. When I use includes, all areas accounts and categories show up when I test as a specific user.
