Managing Dashboard Security

Managing Dashboard security, in simple terms, is the ability to determine who can see what report, how they see it, and what they can do with it. This is the primary function of the Security option in the Dashboard's Administrator view.

As an administrator, you have the power to control how other users experience the Dashboard. For example, you can create Dashboards for users that display only certain reports, UI menus and options, and other functionality.

Security options include the ability to:
  • Create users and define their roles
  • Permit specific reports and dashboards with roles
  • Restrict specific reports and dashboards from roles
  • Customize dashboard displays
  • Manage user passwords
