Managing owners

You can control who can see your reports or schedules by setting visibility to public or private. You can also control who can edit your reports by adding or removing owners. You can manage owners on multiple reports, making it easy to add and remove users from a set of reports all at once.  

About this task

To add or remove owners on one or more reports or schedules, directly from the Reports or Schedules and results tab listing, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. To manage owners, identify and select the reports or schedules that you want to modify. Owners can be added to reports or schedules only and not folders.
    • To modify owners for multiple reports or schedules from the Reports or Schedules and results tab listing and to display the bulk action toolbar, select the corresponding checkboxes in the table. Select Manage owners.
    • To modify owners for a single report or schedule from the tables, click More actions for the corresponding report or schedule, and then select Manage owners.
    A Manage owners dialog opens, where you can select additional owners and review the current list of owners for the selected reports.
  2. To add new owners to one or more reports or schedules, select from the initial list of recent users, which is based on users you have previously selected, or search for users by username, user ID, or email address. The users that you add are displayed in the selected users list.
    When managing owners on multiple reports or schedules, the Selected users list displays a preview of the owners across all the selected reports, including the users that only own some of the reports or schedules. The icons that are associated with the owners indicates the scope of their ownership and includes actions to add or remove all owners from the selected assets. The legend in the dialog describes these icons.
  3. To complete the process of assigning owners to reports, click Update. A notification informs you that the owners were updated.
