See the Sharing topic for more information on the permissions you can assign to each dashboard.

Sharing a Dashboard

Dashboard owners and editors can update sharing settings for a dashboard at any time.

1. Enter a dashboard's Edit view.
2. Click the Share button.
   The Sharing window allows you to select the user(s) to which you want to grant access.
   
3. Click the arrow next to the  icon to select the user's permission level.

   If you are granting access to all users, you must select the Can View option.  You can only assign editing permission to individual users not to all users.

   If you assign owner permissions to another user, your permissions automatically change to editor-level.

   
4. Use the search field to locate and select a user's name or the Everybody (Public) option. This option grants view-only access to all users.
   The user is now listed in the Who has access list.  From this listing, you can change or delete the user's permissions.

   When you share a dashboard with a user, you also give him viewing permissions for all data collections used by the dashboard's widgets.

5. Click the Apply button to save the user's permission level.
