Share Reports
- Own the report or have theModify All Reportspermission.
- Move the report to theSharedfolder.
- Security:Create Shared Reportspermission.
You can share both live reports and snapshots that you create with:
- Your team.
- Other teams.
- Stakeholders.
Shared reports strip out the data that users can't access and can look very different to each user. You may see:
- Entire columns and rows that others can't see.
- Parameter and filter options that others can't see.
- Data where others see blanks and zeros.
- Rollups with different values.
- Different results for calculations such as these based on access to certain terms:
- Different values
- Partial rollups
- f(x) restricted
- Zeros
If you have the
Modify All Reports
permission, you can edit reports that other users create and share with you. Your access rules remove dimensions and dimension values that you don't have access to. Your saved changes also remove those dimensions for others. When you run these reports, dimensions and dimension values that you can't access still persist for other users.Example: A shared report includes the HQ, Engineering, and Marketing levels. You only have access to Engineering. When you run the report, you only see Engineering. Behind the scenes, HQ and Marketing are still on the report. Others with access to those levels can still see them.
To avoid accidental changes to shared report structures, assign the
Modify All Reports
