Blocking reports from certain users

If required, you can prevent certain users from seeing reports.

Admin Console: Permissions > Space Permissions

You can make sure certain users cannot see reports by removing their permission in the Admin Console. You can do this either by removing permission to view community- or place-level reports or by adding a user override.

To remove permissions for a specific user:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.
  2. Click Edit default space permissions or browse to the space where you want to remove permissions.
  3. Under User Overrides, edit the user override you want to change.
  4. In the Set Exception dialog box, select Advanced and clear the Read checkbox.
  5. Click Save.

Setting permissions for a single user​

To set permissions for a single user:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.

  2. Under View and edit a space's permissions, type or browse for the space to specify permissions for the space.

    This opens the overview of the space permissions.

    Alternatively, click Edit default space permissions under Default space permissions to set up access to all spaces which inherit default space permissions.

  3. Under User Overrides, click Create a user override.

    Note: If you don't see Create a user override, you may need to click Customize this space's permissions at the top of the page.

  4. In the box, start typing the name of the user and then select their name from the drop-down list.

  5. Click Set exception to view the permissions you can set.

  6. In the Set Exception dialog box, select User can manage space (select for options) and select the Full Control check box.

  7. Click Save.

Besides, you can make any other changes to this user's access. For more information on removing Report View permissions, see Blocking reports from certain users.

Setting permissions for a user group​

To set permissions for a user group:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.

  2. Under View and edit a space's permissions, type or browse for the space.

    This opens the overview of the space permissions.

    Alternatively, click Edit default space permissions under Default space permissions to set up access to all spaces which inherit default space permissions.

  3. Under Groups with access, click Add group.

    Note: If you don't see Add group, you may need to click Customize this space's permissions at the top of the page.

  4. In the box, start typing the name of the group and then select the group name from the drop-down list.

  5. In Select Permission Level, select Administer.
