- Share/Disable Sharing of a widget with administrators with the same admin “Role”
Widgets may only be shared to other administrators who belongs to the same Admin Role.
An example of how role sharing works:
Scenario: A system is set up with three different administrator roles
Roles -Full Administrator
-Project Manager
-HR
A "Project Manager" administrator creates and shares a widget. This widget will only be available to other Project Manager admins. The "Full Administrator" and "HR" admin will not see the shared widget for this case. - Permanently Delete a chart or filter widget
