Responsive dashboard role examples
Your ability to create, edit, view, or share a dashboard depends on your roles. These examples show what you can do with a dashboard based on your roles.
These descriptions of dashboard roles assume base system functionality. It is possible to create roles and assign permissions that override this functionality.
No role
Users without a role only see dashboards that another user has shared with them. Information on the dashboard, especially list visualizations, may be hidden from the user based on ACLs.
Users without roles cannot create or share dashboards. An admin shared this dashboard with Avery, a user with no role. Much of the data on the dashboard is hidden and there is no sharing option.
Dashboard shared with user who has no role
Any role
Users with any role can create dashboards and can share dashboards that they create. They can view or view and edit dashboards that are shared with them with the Can edit permission. ACLs still apply to what they can view in a dashboard. An admin shared the dashboard with Daniel, a user with the pa_viewer role, with permission to edit.
Dashboard shared with user who has a non-admin, non-power user role
