As an Adobe Workfront administrator, you can use an access level to define a user’s access to reports, dashboards, and calendars, as explained in Access levels overview.

This access also includes access to External Pages. For information about External Pages, see Grant access to financial data.

NOTE
  • If you want grant users access to reports, dashboards, and calendars, you must also give those users access to filters, views, and groupings. For instructions, see Grant access to filters, views, and groupings.
  • When someone shares a report, dashboard, or calendar with another user, the recipient’s rights on it are determined by a combination of two things: The recipient’s access level setting for reports, dashboards, and calendars and any permissions that the sharer granted for the report, dashboard, or calendar
For information about permissions users can grant on a report, dashboard, or calendar when sharing it, see Share reports, dashboards, and calendars.

For information about what users in each access level can do with issues, see the section Reports in the article Functionality available for each object type.

Access to shared reports, dashboards, and calendars

As the owner or creator of a report, dashboard, or calendar, you can share it with other users by granting them permissions to it, as explained in Share reports, dashboards, and calendars.

When you share any object with another user, the recipient’s rights on it are determined by a combination of two things:

  • The permissions that you grant to your recipient for the object
  • The recipient’s access level settings for the object’s type
