Creating a Shared Report Subscription
Note:
If you have already been upgraded to Technology Intelligence Platform, information in this section is applicable to you. With Technology Intelligence Platform, out-of-the-box IT Visibility dashboards are being replaced with new, enhanced IT Visibility Technology Intelligence Platform reports.
Important:The Manage organization role is required to create a shared report subscription. For complete descriptions of each role available in Flexera One, see Flexera One Roles.
