As a project, story, or dashboard owner, you can choose who and how you want other users to collaborate. Sharing permissions are granted using the Sharing Pane.
The viewer role does not have access to the sharing options that Creators and Explorers have. They can still share stories via a direct link.

2. Sharing Permission Groups
a) Owner Access
Any person in this group has full ownership privileges for the entity. This includes full read/write access and the ability to change sharing/ownership permissions. By default, the original creator of the entity becomes the owner.
b) Preview Access (Project only)
Any person in this group has read-only access to the project. Preview allows Project Owners to give decision-makers a view of the unpublished data and how it flows into stories and dashboards before the project is published to a wider audience. Users have access to the Project through the Shared with me entity menu, and can view the unpublished data via the Preview icon.
b) General Access
Any person in this group will see the entity in the Shared with me tile filter of the entity menu. Access is still limited to the privileges of their Harmoni role (Viewer, Explorer, Creator). Users will always be able to access the entity through the Shared with me entity menu view, but can also favorite the item to further control ease of access.
c) Unlisted Access
Projects
All users must have unlisted access as a minimum for them to see the data associated with your project in the stories and dashboards shared with them.
- You can give unlisted access to specific users or an entire group.
- Users in this group don't have direct access the Project via the Projects Area. If an Explorer or Creator should have access to the Project, include them in General Access or above.
- Users with Unlisted Access can access the Project Tree by clicking the Load Story View option in a Story that has been shared with them.
Stories and Dashboards
Any person in this group is able to access the entity (Stories/Dashboards), but only if they have/know the direct link or pathway to it.
- Stories/Dashboards will not show in the Shared with me tab.
- Users will still be able to favorite the item once they have accessed it via link.
