Be able to restrict the report sharing options in Apptio BI so that a user can't “share with organization” or share with a specific role option

Ability to “select all” in a global filter for returned list that match search box criteria

Problem:Right now in a global filter in an ApptioBI report, once you narrow down the options by typing in a search term you need to individually check every box for returned matches. This can be quite tedious and error prone when the results you n...
