Sharing for viewing

How an owner uses “Share for viewing” and what a view user sees.

“Share for viewing” gives view-only access to a specific project. This is the safe way for a client or colleague to read the live reports.

Steps for the owner

  1. 1
    Check that the user has an account

    If you are an administrator, the account is created in “Users”.

  2. 2
    Open the right project

    Check the name and domain.

  3. 3
    Click “Share” / “Share for viewing”

    Choose the exact user/email according to the form.

  4. 4
    Confirm the access

    The project appears in the recipient’s “All projects”.

  5. 5
    Test the expectation

    The recipient sees the data but not the manage actions.

  6. 6
    Remove when finished

    Revoke the specific sharing without deleting the project or the user.

What a view user sees

  • The dashboard and the modules.
  • Filters, periods, history and the Helpbook.
  • No paid checks, settings, delete or connections.

Questions & answers

Why can the client not click “Check rankings”?

That is expected with view access.

Does sharing send a public link?

Access is to a user account, not a freely public report.
