Thanks Jdbuchanan,

I already looked into it, here is the scenario.

Unfortunatly there is no way to set the default on the flag to off (I wish there were) so they will need to uncheck the option.  Because you are dealing with sensitive data it may be a better idea to not allow the managers to share the report either.  Instead they have to send the request to the BI team to share with the new user and the BI team is responsible for setting the flag when they share the report.
