Doug,
I would turn it around into a more positive statement ("restrict" sounds
negative).
My suggestion is as follows (similar to what jeanne a. e. devoto suggested):
"Only authorized users are able to access reports."
More elaborate and more stern:
"The reports feature implements one of the security attributes of
the xxx program. Only authorized users are permitted to access reports."
Do you "restrict access of reports to authorized users," or do you "restrict
access of reports to unauthorized users"?
Or does it even make a difference? I can make an argument for it being
correct either way. It probably comes down to "restrict to" versus
"restrict from."
Help?
