In the folder permission, BI Author and BI Consumer, Roles were removed and added Sales Rep role with "Open" (read, traverse) permission.
When the user logs in as the Sales rep he is able to delete the Sales Rep Folder which should not be the case.

Steps:
1. Login to OTBI as Admin-> Catalog

3. Open your folder-> Within that create a sub folder (ex- Sales test folder)
4. Click More-> Permission

Login as the Sales rep and go to this subfolder-> More-> It shows the Delete option.
When clicked on Delete the entire folder is deleted
