Sharing a report

Share a report with specific people or groups, or generate a public link for stakeholders who don't have a Dalgo account.

Opening the share modal

  1. Open the report, or find it in the Reports list.
  2. Select the Share button (↗) in the top-right corner, or on the report row in the list.

Report share modal

Adding people or groups

  1. In the Search for people, group or add emails field, search for an existing user or group, or type a new email address.
  2. Set the permission level: Can View or Can Edit.
  3. Select Share.

You can paste a comma-separated list of emails to add multiple people at once.

Unrecognised emails are flagged as external. That person receives an invitation to join Dalgo as a Member. Their access is applied when they accept — they appear as pending until then. Pending invites expire after 30 days.

About reports and source dashboards

Reports are independent from their source dashboards. Once created, a report is a frozen snapshot — it continues to load even if the source dashboard, charts, or KPIs are later deleted or restricted.

Sharing a report gives access to that snapshot only. It does not grant any access to the source dashboard or its charts.

Permission levels

LevelWhat they can do
Can ViewView the frozen report snapshot, read comments, and add comments.
Can EditRegenerate the report snapshot, edit the executive summary, moderate comments (delete or hide). Can also re-share with others up to Edit level. Cannot delete — only the report owner or an Admin can delete a report. Edit access on a report does not mean edit access on the source dashboard or its charts.

Toggle Public sharing on to generate a link anyone can open — no Dalgo account required.

  • Public links are view-only. Anonymous visitors cannot comment.
  • Public links are only available when your Admin has enabled Allow public sharing in Settings > Access > Roles.

Making a report private

Toggle Private on to ignore the org-wide floor for this report. Only people with an explicit share (or Admins) can see it.

  • Turning Private on immediately disables any active public link on the report.
  • Turning Private off does not restore the public link — re-enable it manually if needed.

Requesting access

If someone opens a report link they don't have access to, they see a Request Access screen. They can request View or Edit and add an optional note. The request goes to the report owner.

  • The owner sees pending requests in the Requests section inside the share modal.
  • Approving creates a direct share at the chosen level. The requester is notified.

Requesting edit access

If you can view a report but need to edit it, a Request Edit access pill appears at the top of the report view. Select it to send a request to the report owner, with the level pre-set to Edit.

  • The owner approves or declines from the Requests section in the share modal.
  • Approving upgrades your access to Edit. You are notified when a decision is made.
