Is there a way to allow a small group of people to see each other's instances, but not anyone else's?

We have a report set up in a general folder and I was thinking of setting up a sub-folder that only this small group can access. I'd like to set up shortcuts so I don't have to keep up with multiple versions of the same report. But if the security is changed to grant View document instances, do they see everyone's instances that have run it in the main folder or will they only see the people's in the folder? Or is there another way that I can accomplish this?

We are using CE 9.

Thanks!
 
Change the permissioning on the folder so that only those people can use it, then shortcut whatever you need into it.

It doesn't have to be a subfolder either, just make sure they know where it is, and have permission to it.

Another cheat is to create a generic user, and have them all use that one.
