Share access to a report

This article explains how to provide access to a report.

Reports can be shared with users, roles, subordinates, territories or public groups. You can share access to a report by sharing access to the folder that contains the report.

Required permissions to share access

Permissions: System administrator, users with access to the Manage Reports in Public Folders system permission
