Scenario B:

  • The sharing successful, the sharing is successfully saved, but upon reopening the Share menu, the sharing is undone and the newly added users, roles or groups are not seen.

Cause

The report is shared to one or more deleted users, who appear with their GUID on the list of users the report is shared to as e.g.: R8C83304BF5F135F24DCE1B40C4BF410, this makes the sharing function not work.

Resolution

  1. Identify and remove deleted users from the list of users the report is already shared to, appearing with GUID-s e.g.: R8C83304BF5F135F24DCE1B40C4BF410
  2. Save the list of recipients after removing the deleted users.
  3. Add the users, roles or groups and save.
