Sharing test and monitor results between accounts¶
When you share test and monitor results to a different Control Center account, the results appear on that account’s Paragon Active Assurance dashboard and Tests and Monitoring screens. The share and unshare procedures are the same for tests and monitors, so only sharing of monitoring results is described here. The account shared to only has read access to shared results.
The person sharing results is called the “sharer” on this page, and the person receiving shared results is referred to as the “recipient”.
How to share a monitor¶
Navigate to Monitoring in the main menu.
In the Share column, click the icon for the monitor you want to share.
Click the Share using account button.
In the dialog that appears, enter the account to share to. Optionally, you can also enter a message to the receiver account.
Check the I understand… checkbox.

The sharer clicks the
icon and then, in the dialog that appears, clicks the cross to the right of a monitor to unshare it, as shown in this screenshot:
The recipient clicks the Remove share button:
In both cases, a confirmation dialog appears:
