* Users with a Contributor license can view only reports, dashboards, and calendars that are shared with them.

NOTE
Users with a Light license or a Contributor license have limited sharing capabilities. For more information, see Licenses overview.
External users cannot search for items in Workfront. They can view documents and calendars that are specifically shared with them. They can also see the users that share items with them.
