Adobe Share Link (Can View vs Can Duplicate Confusion)

Avatar

Level 1

Hello!

I have a report that is shared with 3 of our biz partners (A, B, C) in View only mode.
What happens if the share link (2nd highlight in the screenshot) is given to a few more people (D, E)

Will D and E be access the report with View rights or Duplicate rights?

 

I feel the answer is that D and E will get access in Can Duplicate mode, which sucks, since I want the report to be View only for everyone. 

Please correct me if that is not the case. 

It is impossible to keep adding folks in Can View window to make sure they get view only access. Even if the link slips out once to someone not in the Can View list, it will be available for them to duplicate. This is a fundamental flaw in the Sharing Options. 

 

I should be able to create a sharable link that is View Only for anyone who has the link. Something that Google Docs does (Share with entire org in View Mode, unless specifically share with someone in Edit mode)

The answer is at Share projects | Adobe Analytics:

No role assigned (Project link recipients)

If a recipient is not assigned a role and receives a link to the project (Share > Get project link), they will be placed into a role by default. Admins receive Can edit and Non-admins receive Can duplicate.

 

It's also mentioned at Create shareable links | Adobe Analytics:

To share a link to the full project, go to Share > Get project link. If the recipient of the link has not been assigned a project role, Admins receive Can edit and Non-admins receive Can duplicate experiences.
