My objects, Shared with me, and sidebar groups

Located at the bottom of the sidebar, under the global sidebar items, are the My objects and Shared with me groups.

My objects

The My objects group contains two nested groups:

  • Shared - Objects you own that are shared with others or with the dataspace

  • Private - Objects you own that are private to you

When you create a new sidebar item, such as a dashboard or graph, it appears in Private within the My objects group. Items in Private are only visible to you, the dataspace owner, and administrators.

Shared with me

The Shared with me group contains objects that:

  • You do not own

  • Have been shared with you by other users

  • Are not in the global sidebar list

This allows you to easily find objects that others have specifically shared with you.

Visibility for items in the My objects > Shared group and the global list depends on their specific sharing settings and permissions:

The actions described in this section, and the associated context menu options, are only visible to users who have the relevant permissions. For more information about ACL permissions and access levels, see saved object permissions and access control app (for the default HOME dataspace) or creating dataspaces (all other dataspaces), respectively.

Moving a sidebar item

A sidebar item can move between Private, Shared (both within My objects), and the global list based on its sharing settings.

  • To move an item between the Private and Shared groups within My objects, right-click it and select Share with users. In the sharing dialog, change the General access setting. See General access for more information.

  • To move an item from My objects > Shared to the global list, right-click it and select Move to global list. Note that only items with General access set to Dataspace > By roles can be moved to the global list.

Items in Shared with me cannot be moved, as you are not the owner. Contact the object owner if you need to change where these items appear.

To reorder an item within a section, unlock the sidebar and drag the sidebar item.

Changing the owner of a sidebar item

Right-click the item and select Change owner.
