Share reports and dashboards
After you create a report or dashboard, you can allow other users to access it. When sharing a report or dashboard, you control what the other users can do with it—view, copy, or edit it.
NOTE Reports and dashboards show only data that is within your scope. For example, if another user shares a report comparing the average evaluation scores of Team A and Team B, but you have scope over just Team A, the report does not show any data for Team B.
You can share only the reports and dashboards you own. To share one that has been shared with you, create a copy of it.
