Hiding the Share Report Option for Finished My Reports

How to:

You can hide the Share Report option that is displayed by default in the properties of finished Deferred Reports Output and OLAP Reports saved in the My Reports directory. Hiding the Share Report option provides another layer of security to safeguard sensitive content in these types of finished reports. This functionality can be set globally for all views by editing a variable setting in the bid-config.xml file or set for specific views using the Dashboard View Builder.
