Access Users by report

Hi,

I have a simple case but i don't manage to solve it and I can't find an answer on other posts.

I have 2 reports (in fact more reports of course but it's for the example) and 2 users (Admin rights in Workspace). I have only 1 workspace.

Report1 is made by User1. I need that User2 only sees the report without modifying it.

Report2 is made by User2. User1 and User2 can modify it.

 

How could I solve that case, please ?

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards

    HI Fred_T 

    I'm afraid this use case isn't possible. Workspace rights apply equally to all reports in the workspace.

    In your example..

    Report1 is made by User1. I need that User2 only sees the report without modifying it.

    This can be done by making User2 a "viewer" of the Workspace so they can see and run Reports but not modify them.

    Report2 is made by User2. User1 and User2 can modify it.

    But this means User2 needs "Contributor" or "Member" rights to the workspace to publish and modify reports, which breaks the first requirement.

    You'll need to have more than one Workspace to provide this level of access.

    One workspace where User1 is "Contributor" and User2 "Viewer" and one workspace where User1 and User2 are both "Contributors".

    Hope this helps
