Report Sharing

Report sharing is making a report or view available to others — a teammate or someone outside the organization — via a link or a defined access.

Report sharing is where analysis turns from one person into a team; a report only its author sees loses half its value. But sharing is exactly where privacy and access turn sensitive: a link that lets anyone with the address see the data without authentication is a potential leak, so share links usually need a limited lifetime and access level. Two common models exist: internal sharing with role control (who sees which report), and external sharing via a public link, simple but riskier. The common trap is sharing sensitive raw data instead of an aggregate view. Good sharing gives the least data needed, with the least access needed, for the least time needed.
