Cross report drill through only working for specific users

I have two reports that are linked and have the capability to cross report drill through. This is working fine for a large proportion of users however there are also many users who are unable to see the option to drill through despite data access being identical.

 

Is there anything that could be causing this?

For the cross report function, directly reshare to other users does not work, you need to add him to the members of the workspace.
