Public and private favorites

Any user can create private favorites (such as common queries and frequently used forms) for their own use if their profile contains the user.favorites capability word. A named user who has the public.favorites capability word in their profile can share their private favorites and dashboards with other users. Only the owner of a favorite or a system administrator can modify the favorite properties.

The public.favorites capability word is only for administrators to create and modify shared favorites. An administrator can create a favorite for an individual user, user groups, or the entire user community, and then specify one or more content owners. A designated content owner cannot remove the favorite folder, but they can define or modify subordinate folders or dashboards.
