Share a Data Discovery Dashboard with Users Inside Your Account

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can allow your users to share dashboards easily among themselves in a user-friendly manner by allowing them to grant and revoke VIEWER, COMMENTER, or EDITOR access level to a dashboard. This action grants users permission to access the underlying visuals and sources used in the dashboard. See Shared Access - Viewers .

Who a dashboard can be shared with:

• Dashboards can only be shared with existing users, not groups or an account.

• Administrators can filter users who can receive a dashboard using the recipient rules API. See Configure Recipient Rules.

Share a Dashboard with Users

1. Log into Symphony in data discovery as a user who can share dashboards. Your user account must meet one of the following conditions:

   • Access as the OWNER of a dashboard - the user who created it and has READ, WRITE, and DELETE permissions for it.
   • Access as the EDITOR of a dashboard - the user who can edit and has READ and WRITE permissions for it.
   • In a group with the Administer Dashboards privilege.

2. Open the dashboard you wish to share from the list of available dashboards.

3. Select Share Dashboard . The Share [Dashboard Name] work area opens.

   

4. Use the Select Users box to find and select one or more existing users in your account.

5. Select an access level for the selected users: Viewer, Commenter, or Editor.

   All users can see comments associated with widgets in your dashboard when comments are enabled. See Manage Widget Comments for more information on working with comments.

6. Select Add to grant the users access to this dashboard.

   Dashboard owners and users with Viewer, Commenter, or Editor access to the dashboard are listed in the Existing Access list.

7. Select Save to save your changes. Users on the Existing Access list retain their access until you revoke their access.

Local visuals inherit a dashboard's access level. To share visuals from the Visual Gallery included in your dashboard, you need appropriate permissions or privileges, and DATA ACCESS permission for the sources of those visuals. See Shared Access - Viewers , Shared Access - Commenters,and Shared Access - Editors.
