Dashboards | I can see lines in a report of a sheet not shared with me

Hi 

 

Using Dashboards, I can see lines in a report from a source sheet that's not shared with me. When I look in the report (and not the dashboard), I cannot see those lines. 

I assume this is a bug?

No. That is how Smartsheet works. If you can view the dashboard then you can see everything that is placed on that dashboard. To be able to see the source report (or the source of anything else displayed) you have to also be shared to the source. It's good for if you want someone to be able to view information from multiple sources but not edit. It also allows you to only show certain columns in the report on the dashboard which would limit the viewable information but keeps other information hidden.
