I have two partners working on the same program in DHIS2, but I don’t want the one partner to see a specific data element, because it contains sensitive information.
Is it possible two users to “see” the same data set/program, but hide one/more data element from one or the other user? Is that possible from the Data elements sharing options? When I tried to assign one Data elements to a specific User, still other Users are able to see that Data Element.
Meta data sharing is key to solving your requirement. You will need to group the users into different user groups and under maintenance data elements provide view access to those you want to see and and no public access. Only user in the group granted view access will be able to see it in analysis.

you can use sharing to control access to data elements. However, there is a difference between data entry and data analysis. In the data entry module, we do not filter data elements inside forms based on sharing. To control access there, you must either split out into multiple data sets, or have a category combo linked to the data set where each category option uses sharing. In data analysis we do filter data elements according to sharing.

Hello Lars and Prosper – thank you for your response! Greatly appreciated!
Lars,
I am not using a data set but a program. Is there a way to achieve the same with programs, as with data set attribute combo sharing?
With Respect,
Kris

Yes you can associate a program with category combinations as well. For
event-based programs (no registration) it works quite similarly as for data
sets.
