Sharing Dashboard without database

Hello together,

 

Is it possible to create a database, and enable other users to create report ant dashboard WITHOUT editing the Database? The scope is to provice to a specific department a dataset from where they can create reports and dashboards they want, but without giving them the choice to edit (idealy see) the database.

 

As I've understood Content packs allow you to share the reports and dashboards, but as soon the other users edit them, a copy of the existing content pack will be created.

Workspaces on the other hand allow you to work togeher with other colleagues, but they will be able to edit the database.

 

Thank you in forward.
