Overview
This article explains how to share findings in Hyver so other users can view, comment on, or collaborate on them.
When a finding is created, it’s visible only to the creator by default. To make it accessible to others, you must share it explicitly — either with selected individuals or more broadly with users who have engagement-level access.
1. Default visibility of a new finding
New findings are created in draft status.
By default, they are shared only with the creator, who is automatically added to the Restricted members list.
No other users — including admins or engagement members — can see the finding unless they are added through sharing:
2. Sharing modes
There are two ways to share a finding:
Restricted members
Only the specific users you add will be able to view or work on the finding.
Even admins or engagement-level users won’t see the finding unless they’re explicitly added.
This includes CYE service team members — they will not have access unless added to the list.
Anyone with permission
The finding becomes visible to:
All members of the associated engagement
Any other invited users who were granted access through sharing
This option does not support group sharing or admin privileges — users can be added only as Viewers or Editors
3. Role-based share permissions
Depending on the permissions you assign, users will be able to:
Role | Can do... |
Admin | Full control over the finding — including editing, sharing, and deleting |
Editor | Rename finding, add remediation assets, import from CSV, share with others, comment, and create Jira tickets (if Jira is integrated) |
Viewer | View the finding and add comments from the right pane |
In the main menu, Editors may not see the Add comment option but can still create Jira tickets if integrated.
4. Sharing with pending users
You can share findings with users who have been invited to Hyver but haven’t activated their account yet.
Once they log in, they’ll automatically have access to any findings that were shared with them.
Sharing is not available at the group level — you must add individual members.
5. Reminder when opening a finding
When you change a finding’s status from Draft to Open, Hyver will remind you to set share-level permissions.
This ensures others who need access can view or act on the finding:
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Sharing is essential for collaboration. Use the right mode and permission level to control who can view, edit, or manage a finding — and make sure to share it once you’re ready to move past draft.
