The security settings do not get carried over from SI to CE due to the changes in the security. This is documented in the Import Wizard documentation.

Excerpt from the CE9 Admin Guide:

Rights

Crystal Enterprise enforces security through object rights, which differ from the user rights used within Info. Consequently, the Crystal Import Wizard does not
import any of the folder security that is set up within the Info environment.

If you transfer reports from Info to Crystal Enterprise, the rights associated with the report are not transferred, only the ownership. If the owner of a report is the
Administrators group, the Administrators group will have Full Control access to it. If the owner of the report is not an administrator, the report will be transferred
and the View On Demand access mode will be associated with the report.
