Sharing a dashboard through app without access to underlying reports
I have a dashboard that includes 3 live pages from 3 different reports. Users in my App audience need to be able to see the dashboard and all of its contents, but NOT be able to click through to the actual reports.
I have shared the dashboard with the app Audience, which also gives them permission to the datasets of the underlying reports, however as long as I haven't shared the report itsself with the Audience as well, they are getting an error when trying to view the dashboard (The report shown in this tile doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it)
Is there any way to achieve what I want?
Hi mlvdijl
If you want to centralize the live pages of multiple reports and share them with your customers through a dashboard, it is inevitable that you will have to give the view rights of the corresponding reports to your customers. This is unavoidable because if you remove the read and reshare permissions from the report's manage permissions, then the dashboard will not be visible.
There is another way, even if you don't give read access to the report , you can centralize the REPORT into the app and then send the link to the app to the customer. But this has a problem that it will show all the pages in a report.Also, it is not possible to centralize the content into a report.
