View-only projects

You can share projects as “view-only” to recipients through the Project share workflow. Recipients placed in the Can View role will receive a more limited project experience. This may be desired if you are sharing a project to users that are less familiar with your organization’s data structure, Analysis Workspace or Adobe Analytics generally, but you still want them to consume data and insights in a safe environment.

Note that you can edit the panel calendar date range even in view-only projects.

See VideoCheckedOut View-only projects for a demo video.
