Share a report in Adobe Workfront
Your Adobe Workfront administrator grants users access to view or edit reports when they assign access levels. For more information about granting access to issues, see Grant access to reports, dashboards, and calendars.
Along with the access level that users are granted, you can also grant them permissions to View or Manage specific reports that you have access to share. For more information about access levels and permissions, see How access levels and permissions work together.
Permissions are specific to one item in Workfront and define what actions one can take on that item.

Considerations about sharing reports
In addition to the considerations below, also see Share reports, dashboards, and calendars.
- You can share reports that you create with other individuals, teams, groups, job roles, or companies. You can also share reports others created and which were shared with you.
- You can also share them with your entire organization or make them public. Making a report public generates a URL that can be shared with others.
- You can share an individual report, or you can share multiple reports from a list of reports.
Ways to share reports
You can share reports in Workfront in the following way:
- Manually, as described in the Share a report section below.
- Automatically, by inheriting View permissions from a dashboard that contains the report which has been shared. For information about viewing inherited permissions on objects, see View inherited permissions on objects.

Make this public to external users: Select this option to generate a URL that can be shared with others. Anyone with the URL can access the report, without having an Adobe Workfront license.
note caution CAUTION We recommend that you use caution when sharing an object containing confidential information with external users. This allows them to view information without being a Workfront user or part of your organization. note note NOTE If the report has a prompt and you share it publicly, users running the report through the public share link will not be able to run the report using the prompt. They will see the report without the prompt applied to it unless they log in to Workfront and access the report without using the public share link. For more information about the limitations of sharing reports with prompts, see the section Limitations of sharing prompted reports in the article Add a prompt to a report. -
