Viewers and editors:
You can choose the role of the people you shared your report with :
- Viewers: These persons are only allowed to view the report. They can interact with it through control fields but they won’t be able to modify it. They can only consult and filter data through the specific control fields.
- Editors: Editors, on the other hand, can modify the report. They can move charts, change metrics and dimensions, add new pages, add a new data source, modify embedded data sources, modify the design…
