# Update a recurring report

> Changes the fields sent. An unknown, foreign or deleted id is answered with 400 invalid_request. This is the older reporting API; for new work use the newer routes (GET /reports/catalog, POST /reports/preview, POST /reports/run, /reports/saved). Admins, operators and the company key may call it; workers get 403 permission_denied.
