Sharing Report

Report sharing functions allow you to perform following actions:

• Grant access to the report for selected users or user groups;
• Optionally notify users about granted access to reports;
• Change the owner of the report (available since BellaDati 2.9.3.1).

When you are setting up report sharing for individual users or user groups, please distinguish following two access levels :

• Read-only access: Reports can be only viewed. Basic operations such as drill-down, exporting and report variable modifications are allowed within the user's session without affecting the original report. There are 3 different control types with different permissions allowed for the read-only access. See the list of allowed operations for selected control type.
• Read-only access without adding access: The same as Read-only access, but without the option to add comments to the report and views.
• Full access: All functions except sharing and report deleting are available.

Domain administrators can also change the owner of the report. By using the same sharing interface, they can switch to tab "Owner" and replace current owner of the report with another user.
