Share a Dashboard
A dashboard can be shared to roles that have the View or Manage Dashboard permissions.
The user that is sharing the dashboard should also have the View Roles and Manage Roles permission.
If a user logs in as a partner or client, a share icon (arrow) appears. A partner can share a dashboard to partner and client users that have particular roles assigned to them.
Set permissions
Enable the View or Manage Dashboard permission for the partners and the client users from:
Setup > Permission Sets > Permissions > Dashboards
See Permission Sets to learn about enabling permissions.
Create a role
- Create a role with partner or client scope from Setup > Roles.
See Create a role to learn about creating roles.

- Click the Share Dashboard icon from the main dashboard page.In the Share Dashboard window that appears, select the roles under the PARTNER USERS or CLIENT USERS category. Only the roles that have been created under the current partner or selected organization scope with the View or Manage Dashboard permission will be displayed.
Note
The Share Dashboard option is available to the user that has created it or to the admin users. - Select a role or roles that have been assigned to partner users.
- If you select a particular partner, only partner users that have been assigned the role can view the dashboard.
- If you select all clients, all clients under that specific partner can view the dashboard.
- If you select a particular client, only that client can view the dashboard.
- Click SHARE. The dashboard is shared with the users.
Note: Sharing of dashboards is not enabled for roles that are created by a Partner and applied to ‘All Clients’.
View shared dashboard
A shared dashboard can be viewed only if the partner or client user has the View or Manage Dashboard permission.
Edit shared dashboard
A user can edit a shared dashboard only:
- If the user has the View or Manage Dashboard and Admin permission.
- If the user is at the same level as a partner or client. For example, if a partner dashboard is shared with a client user, the client user cannot edit the dashboard even if the user has admin permissions.
Unshare a dashboard
The user that is unsharing the dashboard should have the View Roles and Manage Roles permission.
Click X next to the partner or client users in the Share Dashboard window. This removes the users from the selection and their permission to share the dashboard.
