The Hub Permissions page allows you to specify who can manage the hub and who can only view it. Here you can add users to the list from your company or other companies, remove users from the list, and allocate permissions to individual users or groups of users.
Note: Report end users will not have access to the Hub Designer, though they will have access to reports created using data from the hub.
To open the Hub permissions page, click on the Settings icon in the sidebar to open the Settings page, then click the Manage Permissions button.
