Share a report
To make sure everyone is viewing the same information, you can share your configured report with one or more user groups.
When you make a user inactive all their shared items are still available. An administrator can change or disable any of their shared reports.
The person viewing a shared report may not have the same topmost permissions and may not see the same information as the creator.
