This chapter explains how to share workbooks with other Discoverer users, and contains the following topics:
Discoverer makes it easy for you to share workbooks with other users. For example, you might have created a workbook for analyzing web site traffic and want your colleagues to be able to analyze the data
When you share one of your Discoverer workbooks, you give other Discoverer users read-only access to that workbook. Read-only access enables Discoverer Plus and Discoverer Viewer users to:
When you share worksheets, you are sharing the query definition, not the query data itself. The query data that users can access is dependent on users' database access privileges.
Discoverer users can only access worksheets containing data to which they have database access privileges. In other words, if you share a workbook with multiple users, each user will only see the worksheets containing data to which they have database access.
When you share a workbook, you explicitly specify the Discoverer users that have access to that workbook. Only the users that you specify will have access to the workbooks that you choose to share with them. If you want to share results with all users, you can use the Public user option.
When sharing workbooks with other Discoverer users, you can grant access rights in two ways:
Note: You can combine these two sharing methods to share your workbooks most effectively.
Often, you will want to share a single workbook with multiple Discoverer users. For example, you might have scheduled a weekly report that you want to provide to colleagues in your department.
To share a workbook with multiple Discoverer users:
Note: The Workbook drop down list only displays workbooks that you have created.
Hint: You can select more than one user by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking another user.
The users specified will be able to access the workbook when they next connect to Discoverer.
Often, you will want to share multiple workbooks with a single Discoverer user. For example, you might have created a set of reports that you want to provide to a single colleague in another department.
To share multiple workbooks with a single Discoverer user:
Hint: You can select more than one workbook by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking another workbook.
When the user that you selected next connects to Discoverer, they will have access to the workbooks that you specified.
