# Share dashboards

> Give selected teammates or your company access to a live dashboard, share its link, understand viewer permissions, and change the audience when needed.

Share a live dashboard so teammates can open it, explore its results, and ask Dash questions. You choose who can view it. To send an Excel report instead, see [Export and email reports](https://docs.galvant.ai/dashboards/reports.md).

## Share with selected people or your company

Open a dashboard you own and click **Share**. Choose its audience:

> [tab] Selected people
>
> Choose **Specific people**. Use **Add people** to find a teammate by name or email, then select them. Check the names under **People with access** and click **Save changes**.
>
> > [!NOTE]
> >
> > **GIF placeholder: SHARE-01**
> >
> > Add one teammate under Specific people, check People with access, and save the change. Use a publishable name and email address.

> [tab] Your company
>
> Choose **Everyone**, then click **Save changes**. The access list shows **Everyone in the company**. Company users with Dashboards access can open it.

> [tab] Only you
>
> Choose **Private**, then click **Save changes**. The dashboard is available only to you, its owner.

Existing data access permissions still apply. The selected audience takes effect when you save it.

## Send a dashboard link

After saving the audience, reopen **Share** and click **Copy link**. Send the link to the people who should use the dashboard. They sign in to Galvant to open it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Screenshot placeholder: SHARE-02**
>
> Show Copy link beside a saved Everyone in the company audience. Keep the dashboard title visible.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Copying a link does not add someone to the audience. **Copy link** opens the dashboard with its saved variable defaults. To share your currently selected period or other inputs, copy the address from your browser instead.

See [current selections and saved defaults](https://docs.galvant.ai/dashboards/variables.md#current-selections-and-saved-defaults) for how those views differ.

## What viewers can do

Viewers see **Shared dashboard · Read only**. They can explore the dashboard without changing its saved setup.

| Action | Owner | Viewer |
| - | - | - |
| Explore variables and table rows | Yes | Yes |
| Refresh, download Excel, or ask Dash questions | Yes | Yes |
| Change saved cards, variables, or layout | Yes | Make an owned copy first |
| Change access, rename, or delete the dashboard | Yes | No |

To adapt a shared dashboard, click **Duplicate and edit**. This creates a separate copy you own.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Screenshot placeholder: SHARE-03**
>
> Show a shared dashboard's Read only notice and Duplicate and edit button, with usable variable controls below the header.

## Change or remove access

Reopen **Share** on a dashboard you own. Under **Specific people**, remove a person with their remove control, or choose a different audience. Click **Save changes** to apply it.

For example, change **Everyone** to **Specific people** when only a smaller group should retain access, or choose **Private** to keep it to yourself.

Changing live-dashboard access does not retrieve files already downloaded or emailed. Review any [email schedules](https://docs.galvant.ai/dashboards/reports.md#change-or-stop-a-schedule) when the report's audience changes.

> [accordion] A teammate cannot open the dashboard
>
> Check the saved audience first. The person must also have an eligible company account with Dashboards access. If their entry shows **Access unavailable**, ask your Galvant administrator to check their account access. See [dashboard access troubleshooting](https://docs.galvant.ai/help/troubleshooting.md#a-dashboard-or-card-is-unavailable).
