Adding users to a dashboard
User privileges are assigned to individual dashboards by a Product Administrator, Job Administrator, or Report Administrator. Users must also have access to the folder that contains the dashboard, since the folder is the highest level in the hierarchy.
About this task
Note: A user can be given access to a dashboard without having access to the report packs that
contribute data to it. If this is the case, the links to those report packs will not be active, but
the data will still be displayed in the dashboard. Although a minimum folder role of Report Consumer
gives access to all dashboards in a folder, you might want to prevent certain users, regardless of
their role in the folder, from accessing the data in a particular dashboard. You can deny or grant
users access to dashboards and report packs so that only users with access to a dashboard can see
the dashboard in a folder and view its contents.
Procedure
- Go
to the Users and Groups page of the dashboard, and click
the Add icon (
