• Specified department: Allows the members of the specified department to be searchable and viewable. You can specify one or more department members to be searchable and viewable. It cannot be shared to the specified department by default, and needs to be configured by the administrator in the iportal.xml file.
• Specified group: Allows the specified group to be searchable and viewable. You can specify one or more groups to be searchable and viewable.
• Specified user:Allows the specified user to be searchable and viewable. You can add one or more users into the “Selected users” list, in which the users have the search permission. You can manually check the view permissions.

  If dashboard contains maps, data and service resources inconsistent with the sharing method of the dashboard, you can choose to update the sharing permissions of these resources simultaneously when sharing, so that the dashboard can be browsed normally after sharing.
