Restrict access to viewing the data source

Good afternoon

I have two Areas of Work:

-Area 1 with the original database

-Area 2 with a report whose data source is that of Area 1

I want to add a user as a viewer to Area 2 without having access to Area 1 but allowing them to view the report.

How can I get it?

I think if I don't give you access to Area 1 you can't see the report, but I don't want you to be able to see the database.

Thanks a lot.

    HI An4,

    So you mean you want the to user can be accessed and view the database records but not want them to have permission to access the database?

    If that is the case, you can create a view or service that stored the snapshot that mapping/pulls data from 'database 1', then you can use this as the data source of report 2.
    After these steps, you only need to give the user permission to access the datastore instead of the root database. They did not affect the database 1 usages.
