Share metrics

Required permissions

To share a user-defined custom metric with others, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• You are the Owner of the metric.

• You have the Editor permission on the metric.

• You have the Cloud Analytics Admin permission.

See Summary for quick reference.

Edit permissions

To share a metric, you need to give access to the intended recipients:

1. Navigate to the main Metrics screen.

2. Locate the metric of interest.

   • To share an individual metric, select the three dots menu (⋮) at the rightmost end of the metric entry, and then select Edit permissions.

   • To share multiple metrics, select the checkbox of each metric entry, and then select Edit permissions in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. In the Edit permissions window, enter the email of the intended recipients and give them Viewer or Editor access.

   

4. Select Add to apply the changes.

Change permissions

You can change permissions on a metric from the same configuration window, including:

• Change the permission of an individual user to Viewer or Editor, or remove the access.

• Change the permission of the whole organization to Viewer or Editor.

Transfer ownership

To transfer the ownership of a metric to another user:

1. Make sure the intended user already has the Editor permission.

2. In the Access drop-down list, select Make owner.

Note that:

• A metric can have only one owner and the owner must be an individual user.

• Once the ownership is transferred, the previous owner becomes an Editor.
