Report Permissions


Introduction

Before this update, you only had two options: to create a public or a private report. The first was accessible for each and every one of the users of your Ganttic account, the second was only accessible for you. Now you can specify users who have access to that particular report. 

Must-know about this feature

You can activate one of the following three report modes: private, public, selected users. The private mode is obvious – only you can access the report. With the "public" and "selected users" option you can choose whether they can use the report settings to either add filters or change other settings to their needs or liking. If you choose to lock the report settings, they can not make any changes to report settings. If you choose not to lock the report settings, the users can’t permanently overwrite the report settings you have chosen. However, they can make changes on the go. Meaning the changes cannot be saved and if the user is making changes to report settings, the settings won’t be changed for everyone. In addition, the "selected users" option allows you to choose the users the settings are applied to. All other users are not able to access the view.

If you don't want the users to make any changes to the report then lock report settings. You can find the option on the right.
