User permissions

By default, if you create a collection, only you can access the collection and the contents within. To share a collection with other users, add them to the collection.

You are automatically assigned the manager role when creating a new collection. There can be multiple managers for a collection. However, there must be at least one manager for every collection. Managers can do the following:

User permissions in collections involve managers, editors, and viewers. Managers control collection content, including adding/removing dashboards and reports, users, and data sources. Editors can modify content but not collection details, while viewers can only observe and copy. Add users to collections via the Users tab, assigning roles that determine access rights.

A manager can add a new user to the collection using the Add button. Use the ID of the user to add them. Every user has a role assigned to them that specifies their access rights to the collection.

Those with read-only access to the collection may only view the components contained within, as well as copy them. Viewers cannot create, edit, or delete components in a collection. They are also not allowed to rename or delete the collection itself, or change anything in the Users tab.
