with the Jazz
Reporting Service administrator
or report manager who imported them.
- You must have permission to edit the dashboard (personal, project,
or team) to which you want to add report widgets.

What to do next
Team members who see the reports on dashboards see only
data from public project areas and the project areas that they belong
to. They cannot see data from project areas that they do not belong
to. The Collaborative Lifecycle Management tools have written a variety
of articles about restricting access to project areas. For an overview,
see these pages:
