# User Permissions for Sharing Reports and Dashboards

Each level of access to a report or dashboard folder consists of a combination of user permissions. As an administrator, you can further fine-tune users’ access to dashboards and reports by assigning or removing one or more permissions.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Group</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Enhanced Folder Sharing</td></tr></tbody></table>

When enhanced folder sharing is enabled, all users get Viewer access to report and dashboard folders, except users with higher administrative permissions. To give users broader privileges, assign Editor or Manager folder access and give report and dashboard user permissions as needed.
