To enable others to use a report or a dashboard, share the folder it is in. Give each user, public group, or role the degree of access to the folder that makes sense for them.
To give someone access to a folder, you must have either Manager access to that folder, the “Manage Reports in Public Folders” permission (for report folders), or the “Manage Dashboards in Public Folders” permission (for dashboard folders).
If a folder does not have Manager access, it is public, and users with the “View Reports in Public Folders” permission can view it. Depending on their object access, these users can also run the report. (1) Share your folder by user, by user group, or by role. (2) Choose the access level you want each user, group, or role to have. (3) Stop sharing the folder with the user, group, or role.
When you open Reports tab, there will you find the sharing settings for the user, you can individually assign the access there. You can see the share option on Reports folder as below:
Click on the share and you can assign access individually. Let me know if you need any other help.
Viewer Access Levels to Report and Dashboard Folders With Viewer access you can see the data in a report or dashboard, but you can’t make any changes, except by cloning it into a new report or dashboard. All users have at least Viewer access to report and dashboard folders that have been shared with them. (Some users may have administrative user permissions that give them greater access.) Editor Access to Report and Dashboard Folders When you are an Editor on a folder, you can view and modify the reports and dashboards it contains, and move them to and from any other folders you have Editor or Manager access to. Manager Access to Report and Dashboard Folders With Manager access, you can do everything Viewers and Editors can do, plus control other users’ access to it, change its properties, or delete it.
