How to Use Dashboard & Report Builder Permissions in Watershed

Organizations store massive amounts of learning data, so it can be difficult to disseminate accurate and relevant information. Watershed's reporting dashboards ensure the right data reaches the right people.

Set up Dashboards to create multiple views into your data, and then use our permissions feature to control which Dashboards each of your users see.

You also can create permissions to control how users interact with Watershed's Report Builder (formerly called Explore) to manipulate the data they can see.

What's the difference between Dashboard and Report Builder permissions?

Dashboard permissions allow you to control which dashboards each of your Watershed users see. Report Builder permissions allow you to control who can access Report Builder, Watershed’s reporting tool.

Who can control Dashboard and Report Builder permissions?

Only admins can control Dashboard and Report Builder permissions.

How do I establish Dashboard and Report Builder permissions?

You can establish Dashboard and Report Builder permissions in two ways:

  1. through the user interface and
  2. through our Groups Import feature.

The UI is best for quick, one-off changes, and the Groups Import feature is ideal for larger, organization-wide changes and for setting up an automatic feed between Watershed and your HR system.

How can I tell what a particular user can see?

Admins can use Watershed’s View Dashboard As feature to look at what a particular user can see when they log into Watershed.
