Controlling private/public access to dashboards (scope)

Dashboards can be have a scope of either private (the default) or public.

  • Private dashboards can be seen only by your user.
  • You can make your dashboards public to allow other users to see them.
  • Public dashboards are viewable in read-only mode by all other License Statistics users.
  • The Owner column of the Dashboards list shows the owner of any dashboards that have been made public.
  • You can change the scope only for dashboards that you own.

When you open a dashboard, the scope is indicated at the top of the page, as shown in the illustration below for a public dashboard.
