When sharing a Workbook or Dataset, you can choose to give other users or Groups of users Viewer or Editor permissions.

For example, the CEO of a company may want the rest of the executive team to see sales and revenue data, but not want them to be able to make changes to the individual fields. The CEO would be the Editor, and the rest of the executive team would be Viewers.

Editor

Editor for Datasets: Editors can access all features in datasets. They may be the owners of the data sets or people who are involved in maintaining, cleaning, or modeling the data. Editors can add or remove fields, change the datatype, make fields text searchable, create transformations, change the field name, and share the data set with others.

Editor for Workbooks: An editor on a Workbook can make changes, add, delete, or share a Workbook with other users.

Viewer

Viewer for Datasets: Viewers are only able to view the Dataset names, without being able to make any changes. A Viewer can still create Metrics and Workbooks using the data, but are not able to change the data itself.

Viewer for Workbooks: A viewer on a Workbook can still interact, filter, and drill down, but cannot make changes, delete, or manage sharing.
