An engineer must configure a Cisco FMC dashboard in a multidomain deployment Which action must the engineer take to edit a report template from an ancestor domain?

In a Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) multidomain deployment, objects created in an ancestor (parent) domain are inherited by descendant (child) domains. These inherited objects, including report templates, are read-only in the descendant domains to maintain hierarchical consistency. To edit an inherited report template, an administrator must first copy the template to the current descendant domain. This action creates a new, independent object owned by the current domain, which can then be modified without affecting the original template in the ancestor domain.

A. Adding it as a separate widget is for displaying report data on a dashboard, not for editing the structure of the report template itself.
C. Ownership is determined by the domain in which an object is created. An engineer in a descendant domain cannot take ownership of an object from an ancestor domain.
D. Changing "document attributes" is a vague action. The specific, required procedure to make an inherited, read-only template editable is to copy it to the local domain.

Chapter: Reporting

Section: Report Templates

Subsection: Managing Report Templates.

The documentation states: "If you are in a descendant domain

you can copy a report template from an ancestor domain to the current domain. You can then edit the copy." This directly supports the correct answer.

Chapter: Multidomain Deployments

Section: Domain Inheritance.

This section explains the core concept: "Objects you create in the current domain are available for use in the current domain and in any descendant domains... In a descendant domain

you cannot edit or delete objects inherited from an ancestor domain." This clarifies why direct editing is not possible and a different action is required.
