The objective of the current design, was that one role can create/edit reports, which includes the setup of the delivery options. As such the task of creating and changing reports is something that would not be done of a daily basis. In addition any user in Control can export any table data, so essentially only the scheduling part is what one the admin can do, as the overall idea is not to log into Control to view those reports online. Changing the roles would lead to issues with existing reports: would now a monitor user be able to change the report of an admin user, ..? We understand the requirement, but feel that in order to deliver the user experience we feel is helping all of your users we need to plan this and have sufficient time ti implement it. Once we see that this can fit into our roadmap we will come back and may ask you for you help in designing this experience.
As a work around you could consider using Cognos Analytics, where those users that have to create reports, don't need to have access to the Control UI as an admin.
