Allow user to copy report from workspace to edit

Is it possible to allow a user to not edit or modify a workspace / report but take a copy of a report (thin report) for their own editing in their workspace?

Thanks Seth, but the ways listed in that article all have the user as contributor in source workspace. I would like them as just viewer so the user can't mess with the original report 🙂
