It keeps the analytics environment clean by preventing accidental changes to report configurations while still giving business users full access to the insights they need.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Viewer Permission Works in Zoho Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Viewer Permission in Zoho Analytics is an access level assigned to a user for a specific workspace, report, or dashboard that allows them to view and interact with the data but not edit the underlying report structure, add data, or modify sharing settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Viewer Permission<\/h2>\n<p>Use Viewer Permission when your reporting or data needs go beyond standard defaults. This feature suits organisations working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or specific business logic. Always confirm with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect shared reports used by other teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Ensure underlying tables are clean and consistently structured before configuring Viewer Permission. Test on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards. For high-traffic workspaces, schedule configuration changes during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting active users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>India Example:<\/strong> A logistics company shares its Operations Dashboard with 30 warehouse managers as Viewers. Each manager can see all the charts, apply the location filter, and export their own warehouse data to Excel. They cannot change the chart types or edit the underlying tables.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workspace-administrator-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Workspace Administrator<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/row-level-security-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Row-Level Security<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/shared-report-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Shared Report<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Viewer Permission in Zoho Analytics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Viewer Permission is the read-only access level in Zoho Analytics.
