Description

Is it possible to edit/save content that has been 'Share' or 'Share with' the users?
User-added image

For instance:
  • Administrator created 2 IDs - id1 and id2, and made them both developers under the enterprise workspace template.

  • id1 created a fex/Schedule, fex1, and shared it with everyone.

  • fex1 showed up in id2's shared content folder.

  • id2 can open up this fex in an editor and *in the editor* make a change and run the changed code, but id2 *cannot* save this shared fex/Schedule unless they do a 'save as' which creates a personal, unshared, copy from the shared fex.

Issue/Introduction

Can we edit and save the Share and Share with content

Resolution

Solution:

id2 can copy this fex to create fex2/Schedule which is owned by id2 and is not shared.  This fex can be permanently changed by id2 with the editor.


Or in simple terms:

  • The problem is that other users cannot modify the private content in the My Content folder.
  • You can copy the report to another folder or to your private working area and Save it
  • Once it's published, the security rules will be used to determine who has access to the report.
