Team Collaboration
Share dashboards, insights, and analyses securely within your organization. The collaboration system provides controlled access to analytical work while maintaining audit trails and data governance.
Private Team Workspaces
Create dedicated spaces for different teams and projects. Each workspace maintains its own set of dashboards, user permissions, and access controls. Teams can collaborate on analysis within their designated workspace while maintaining separation from other organizational units.
Controlled Dashboard Sharing
Share analytical dashboards with specific team members or groups. The sharing system allows dashboard owners to control who can view, interact with, or modify shared content. Recipients can access shared dashboards through their workspace interface while respecting the permissions set by the owner.

Dashboard sharing operates through permission levels that determine user capabilities. View-only access allows users to see dashboard content without making changes. Interactive access enables parameter modifications and data exploration while preserving the original dashboard structure.
Audit Trails
All collaborative activities generate detailed audit records. The system logs dashboard sharing events, access attempts, and modification history. User actions include timestamps, user identification, and affected resources. This information supports compliance requirements and security monitoring.
Activity logging tracks when dashboards are shared, accessed, or modified. Permission changes receive separate audit entries showing who granted or revoked access to specific resources. Export activities log when data leaves the system through sharing or download functions.
Export Controls
Manage how data and analyses can be extracted from the platform. Export controls operate through role-based permissions that determine which users can download data, generate reports, or share content outside the system. Administrators configure these controls to match organizational data governance policies.
The export control system tracks all data movement activities. When users export dashboards or download data, the system records the action, identifies the user, and logs the specific content involved. This information supports compliance monitoring and data loss prevention initiatives.
AI Features Integration
OpenBB Copilot operates within the collaborative environment while maintaining appropriate access controls. Team members can use AI features to analyze shared data and generate insights within their permission boundaries. AI interactions respect the same access controls that govern manual data analysis.
Learn more about AI capabilities in the Copilot documentation.
Excel Integration
The Excel Add-in supports collaborative workflows by enabling team members to access shared data sources through familiar spreadsheet interfaces. Excel integration maintains the same permission structure as the web platform, ensuring data access consistency across tools.
Team members can use Excel to analyze data from shared workspaces while respecting access controls established in the main platform. Changes to data permissions automatically affect Excel access without requiring separate configuration.
Explore Excel integration details in the Add-in documentation.
Implementation Considerations
Set up team workspaces according to organizational structure and project requirements. Define sharing policies that align with data governance requirements and compliance obligations. Establish audit review procedures to monitor collaborative activities and ensure appropriate access levels.
Train team members on sharing capabilities, permission levels, and audit requirements. Regular reviews of shared content and access permissions help maintain security and compliance standards over time.
