Share Reports and Missions

Auto Insights Reports and Missions are now Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC) assets. This change lets you share with AAC Groups and simplifies team-based access.

Important

This new method of sharing applies to newly created Reports and Missions. Reports and Missions created before May 1, 2025 retain the previous sharing options described in Share a Report and Share a Mission section below. Migration of older Missions and Reports to AAC Assets will happen in a future release.

To share a Report...
  1. Go to the Reports page in Auto Insights.

  2. Select the Report you want to share to open the details page.

  3. Select Share from the upper-left corner. The Share window opens.

  4. Select Users or Groups to share with.

  5. Select permission level: Viewer or Editor.

  6. Select Share.

  7. Select Close.

To share a Mission...
  1. Go to the Missions page in Auto Insights.

  2. Select the share icon next to the Mission you want to share. Or, select the Mission to open the details page, then select Share from the upper-right corner. The Share window opens.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What about existing Reports and Missions?

    They are not considered AAC Assets immediately. They continue using the old sharing model, including support for Broadcast.

  • Can I use Broadcast and User Groups at the same time?

    No. An existing Mission can only be broadcast, and a newly created Mission can be shared via User Groups

  • Can broadcast Missions be transitioned to AAC Assets and User Group Sharing manually?

    Not yet. Transition will occur when migration tooling becomes available.

  • Will Reports and Missions appear in the AAC Library?

    Not yet. They will appear in a subsequent update.

Share a Mission

Important

If you are sharing a Mission in AAC created before May 1, 2025, follow these methods.

There are multiple ways you can share a Mission...

  • Use 1 of the Share buttons.

  • Create a subscription (schedule). See the Schedule Missions article to learn about this method.

  • Send via email.

Share Buttons

  1. From the Missions landing page, select the Mission you want to share and select the Share icon or Send via Email icon.

    Share buttons on Missions

    Or, within a Mission, select Share at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

    Share button on Mission Summary page
  2. The Share Mission window displays.

  3. You can either share a Mission with specific people by inviting them one at a time, or you can set your Mission to Broadcast to Permitted Users.

If Broadcast to Permitted Users is set to Can View, the Mission is visible to anyone in your organization on the Homepage if they have access to at least 1 of the datasets used for the Mission.

Once you share a Mission with a group of people, they receive a summary email. This introduces them to the Mission that you've shared.

Permissions

As the owner of the mission, you can handle the permission rights at a user level. This means that certain people can have edit permissions, while others have read-only (Can View) permissions.

Mission Permissions

Users that don’t have access to the underlying dataset of a page aren’t able to see any content on that page. You'll see a notification for Dataset access required. Select Request to send a request for acces to the dataset admin. AAI sends an email to each admin of that dataset.

dataset access needed

An alternative way to share a Mission is to comment (@mention) your colleague in the comment box. Read Collaboration through Missions to understand more about the comment function in Auto Insights.

Default Access Setting

When you create a new Mission, the default access setting is private. Until you decide to share your Mission, it’s only available to you (the creator).

Request Access

If you encounter any pages within a Mission that say, "You do not have access to the underlying dataset for this page," you can request access. Select Request access to send an email requesting access to the dataset owner.

Creators, Editors, and Viewers of a Mission can also request access on behalf of users when they share a Mission. This request triggers an email to the dataset owner requesting access for the specified users.

Request Access for Someone Who Doesn't Have an Account

Select 1 of the 2 share buttons described at the beginning of this article. Enter your teammate's email address. If an account does not yet exist for this email address, the option to Request account access by workspace admin is displayed. Selecting this option will draft an email to the Workspace Admins in your account to request access for the specified user.

Send Email

To share a Mission via email...

  1. From a Mission's Summary page, select Send via Email. The Send Insight email window opens.

    Send via Email button
  2. Search for the name or email of the user to email, then select Add user.

  3. Select Send Now. Auto Insights sends an email immediately.

  4. (Optional) If you'd like to send the email on a scheduled basis, select Create subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do if my teammate doesn't have access to the dataset?

As part of the invitation process, you can request dataset access to specific datasets on behalf of the people you invite. These requests go out to the dataset owners, and it is up to them to approve or deny the new users' access.

What level of Mission permission can I give a user?

  • Editors or Owners of a Mission can invite new users and give them view or edit access to a Mission.

  • Viewers of a Mission can invite new users and only give them view access.

Who can delete a new user?

  • Editors and Owners can remove a pending new user from the Mission while viewers can’t. This does not remove the user from Auto Insights, but only from that Mission.

  • Workspace Admins can remove users from Auto Insights in the Alteryx Cloud Admin Console.

To which datasets do new users have access?

Everyone invited to your organization automatically has access to all Sample and Public datasets. However, as part of the invitation process, you can request dataset access to specific datasets on behalf of the users you invite. These requests go out to the dataset owners, and it's up to them to approve or deny access to the datasets for the new users.

What if I accidentally invited the wrong person?

You can reach out to your Workspace Admin, as they can remove the user from Auto Insights in the Analytics Cloud Admin Console.
