Setting permissions for community-level reports

Here you can find how to specify who can see community-level reports, and reports for places that they can access.

Fastpath

Admin Console: Permissions > Space Permissions or Admin Console: Permissions > System Administration

The Manage System or Manage Community permissions are required to access community-level reports. You can assign permissions to individual users or user groups. For more information about permissions in Jive, see Managing permissions.

If you want a user or user group to view community-level reports, you need to assign them permission in the default space. You do this by customizing the default space and then creating a user override or adding a user group.

The default space contains all of the community spaces, and it is designed to be a community-wide template for setting permissions in new spaces. When new spaces are created, their permissions are based on the default space's, if only as a starting point to customize.

Note: Users with permission to view community-level reports can also see reports in any group or space they can access.

You can customize the default space, setting commonly-used permissions that will make sense for new spaces to have.

Setting permissions for a single user​

To set permissions for a single user:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions or System Administration.
  2. Under Default space permissions or User Overrides, click Edit default space permissions or Create a user override.
  3. In the box, start typing the name of the user and then select their name from the drop-down list.
  4. Click Set exception or Set override to view the permissions you can set.
  5. When the Set Exception dialog opens, or the Permissions dialog opens, select View next to Reports or Manage System or Manage Community permission.
  6. Click Save or Set Permissions to save the change.

The user with the override configured is able to view the community-level reports.

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 or System Administration.
  2. Under Default space permissions or Groups with access, click Edit default space permissions or Add group.
  3. In the box, start typing the name of the group and then select the group name from the drop-down list.
  4. In Select Permission Level, select Custom or click Select Permissions.
  5. In the Configure Custom Permissions dialog box, select View next to Reports or Manage System or Manage Community permission.
  6. Click Save or Set Permissions to save the change.

Users of this group are able to view the community-level reports.

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