You can share Klips with individual users or groups within your organization, enabling others to monitor the Klips (when granted “View” access) or monitor and modify the Klips (when granted “Edit” access).
You can either share an individual Klip or you can share a group of Klips by sharing the dashboard in which they display. Learn more about sharing dashboards here.
Klips are associated to the data sources from which they are built. When you share a Klip, you are also given the option to share its associated data source(s). Learn more about sharing data sources here.

Sharing concepts
Regardless of where you're sharing from, there are a few common actions to note:
- If you don't have sharing rights for all of the Klips or the data sources associated with the Klip(s), numbers will display beside Klips and Data Sources, indicating how many you have the rights to share. If you don't have sharing rights for any of the data sources associated with the Klip, a None icon will display (as shown in the example below).
- At any time, you can click the link beside access (for example, "2 users and 1 group have access") to see who currently has access to the Klip and to optionally change or remove their access. To apply the changes, click Apply. To return to the Share window without making changes, click Cancel. For more information about modifying access to shared Klips and their data sources, see this section.
- If you want to upgrade your sharing rights for some or all of the Klips or data sources, we suggest you contact their owner. If the data source owner upgrades your access but you are still unable to share a data source, it may be that your user role permissions don't allow you to "Share data sources". Learn more about user role permissions here.
- After you share a Klip and its data sources, they display in the recipient's list of Klips.
- When you share a Klip with an individual in your account, an email notification is automatically sent to the recipient. Learn more about email notifications here.
