Sharing Dashboards with Your Team

Written by Contify Team

Dashboards in Contify can be shared with team members to improve collaboration, align stakeholders, and ensure relevant intelligence is accessible across teams.

You can share dashboards with individual users or groups and control whether they can only view the dashboard or also make edits.

Before You Begin

To share a dashboard:

  • You should either be the owner of the dashboard or

  • You should have editor permission for that dashboard

Depending on your access level, you may be able to:

  • View dashboards

  • Edit dashboard content

  • Manage sharing permissions

How to Share a Dashboard

Step 1: Open the Dashboard

Navigate to the Dashboard module and open the dashboard you want to share.

Step 2: Click Share

Click the Share option available on the dashboard.

This will open the Share Dashboard panel.

Step 3: Add Users or Groups

In the search field, type the name or email of the user or group you want to share the dashboard with.

Select the relevant user from the dropdown.

Step 4: Assign Access Permissions

Choose the appropriate permission level for the user.

Viewer

Users can:

  • View dashboard content

  • Interact with widgets

  • Consume dashboard insights

Users cannot:

  • Edit widgets

  • Modify layouts

  • Update dashboard configurations

  • Share or manage access

Editor

Users can:

  • Create and edit widgets

  • Modify dashboard layouts

  • Update sections and configurations

  • Contribute to dashboard management

Choose access carefully based on the level of collaboration required.

Sharing with Everyone in Your Organization

You can also share a dashboard broadly across your organization.

Enable the Share with everyone option to grant organization-wide access.

You can define whether organization-wide users should have:

  • Viewer access

  • Editor access

This is useful for:

  • Executive dashboards

  • Organization-wide intelligence tracking

  • Shared monitoring dashboards

Notify Users via Email

When sharing a dashboard, you can optionally notify users through email.

Enable Notify users via email to send a notification informing users that a dashboard has been shared with them. This helps ensure faster adoption and visibility.

Updating or Removing Access

Dashboard access can be updated at any time.

To modify permissions:

  1. Open the Share Dashboard panel

  2. Locate the user under Users with access

  3. Change permission level (Viewer or Editor)

To remove access:

  1. Open the sharing panel

  2. Locate the user

  3. Remove their access

Changes are applied immediately.
