My solution for this, in the many cases I have run into in the past, is to restore the nightly backup of said DB to another DB on the same server, called [DB]Reports and tell the people to use that one. Typically it doesn't tax the server hardware enough to matter, and it causes no locks or waits on the production data, so everyone is happy. As part of the automated restore process I run the necessary scripts to grant or limit access for the various users.
