1. Enter Control Panel
2. Select Aperte Reports Manager
3. Click Add button
4. Pick the jrxml file with Liferay User Roles report design
5. Fill in fields selected on the picture below

Those fields are described in the table below:

Number	Name	Description
1	Report's name	Name of the report definition visible to the users
2	File	Report design file
3	Description	Short description
4	Active flag	If the report can be generated by users

After clicking Ok, report definition entry is being added to the list. Show parameters button allows to view available input parameters - after providing them, report can be generated.
