  • 1.  Dataset and Dashboard Access

    Posted Wed February 16, 2022 07:49 AM

    Hello,

     

    I added the Author role access to Dashboard and would like to grant the Author role Dataset access. The issue I'm having is if a user is an author with write access to a few packages and has run access to other packages they will have access to create a Dashboard and/or Dataset using the packages they have run access to, however they can't create a report as they only have run access and no report studio capabilities.  I'm interested to hear if anyone ran into this same issue and has a solution to this security setup?

     

    My user would be in a read and a write security group, I tried granting the write group dataset access and setting the read group access with no dataset permissions but the user can still create a dataset using the package they have read access to. If we can limit the capabilities to report studio at the package level there has got to be a way to limit dashboard and dataset access as well.

     

    Thanks,

    Can you explain what exactly you are trying to accomplish? The way I'm reading it, I think you want people in the Author role to be able to create dashboards and datasets, but limit what data modules they can use to create datasets and dashboards. Is that correct?
