Managing data sets for all users

As an administrator, you can manage the data sets of all users from the Data Sets status page.
Note: If you want to track details of user actions on their personal data set pages, you can run the sample audit report "Weekly action details by user" and select DATASET when prompted. For more information, see Sample Audit Model and Audit Reports.
