Use this interactive demo to learn how to share report folder access with a user in Salesforce.

Quick summary

In Salesforce, you can grant report access to a user by navigating to the Reports tab, selecting the target report folder, and using the Share option to modify folder accessibility for specific users. This process takes just a few clicks and ensures the right team members can view or edit the reports they need.


Steps

  1. Open the Reports tab in the top menu of the dashboard or access it through the App Launcher.
  2. Select a report and click the folder where it belongs.
  3. Click the dropdown beside 'New Folder'.
  4. Select 'Share' from the dropdown menu.
  5. Modify the folder accessibility for other users, then click 'Done' to save your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling report access in Salesforce is critical for maintaining data security and ensuring the right stakeholders can act on sales insights without exposing sensitive CRM data to unauthorized users. Salesforce report sharing via folder permissions allows admins to grant granular, role-appropriate visibility across teams. This feature is especially valuable for growing sales organizations where report governance directly impacts forecasting accuracy and compliance. Properly configured report access reduces information silos and empowers every user with the data they need to drive revenue.
