How do I give a group permission to create or edit reports (Viya: V.03.05; VA 8.5.1)

In December, we upgraded to Viya. At that time we only had one group creating reports (Rpt Dev). I assume that during the install process, something was done to enable report creation for Rpt Dev, because I don't remember doing anything special after the install to enable report creation. Rpt Dev is a member of the Data Builders group. I am trying to give another group (New Dev) permission to create/edit reports. I added New Dev to the Data Builders group. But when a member opens VA, they don't get the New Report or Start with Data options. Also, while a report is open, they don't have the Edit Report option.

I have given New Dev permission to the CAS library containing data they need.

What do I need to do to allow a group to have permission to create VA report?

Thank you for any assistance!

Read permission on the endpoint /SASVisualAnalytics_capabilities/edit should grant access to create and edit reports in Visual Analytics.

Thanks Greg!
/SASVisualAnalytics_capabilites/edit was what I needed.
SAS Tech Support pointed me at a similar description at
https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/calcdc/3.5/calatf/n0o6xx292jn2jmn1pnj3s3oqcebw.htm.
Both links discuss the same topics.
