Share Dashboards
Overview
Sharing is not a security feature. Users may access dashboards that are not shared with them through drilling or API.
Every dashboard that you create is saved as a private dashboard that only you can see.
You can find your private dashboards in the Private section on the Dashboards tab.
You can then share it with specific users or user groups from your workspace. Once you share a dashboard, you can find in the Dashboards section. The Dashboards section also contains all dashboards that other users share with you.
You must have at least explorer rights to be able to share dashboards that you create or modify the sharing options for dashboards that other users share with you. For details about rights, see User Roles.
Sharing is enabled by default. To disable it, set the enableAnalyticalDashboardPermissions enableNewAnalyticalDashboardsNavigation platform settings to false. For details, see Configure Various Features via Platform Settings.
NOTE: If you disable sharing, all private dashboards will remain visible only to their creators. To avoid this, make sure that the private dashboards are shared with All users before switching the platform settings to false.
