Configuring Dashboard Permissions

The default permissions for Aras Dashboards include three out of the box group identities. To easily configure permissions, simply add identities of individuals or groups to these identities.

Dashboard Administrators

Dashboard Administrators have the broadest permissions. Not only can they view and create Dashboards, but they can also edit, delete, and change the permissions of Dashboards created by any user.

Dashboard Admins are also the only group that can create and edit Widget Templates for other users.

Dashboard Authors

Dashboard Authors have the next broadest permissions. They can view and create Dashboards, but they can only edit or delete the Dashboards they created themselves.

Dashboard Authors have permission to view Widget Templates, but they aren’t able to create or edit templates.

Dashboard Viewers

Dashboard Viewers have the narrowest permissions. They can view Dashboards, but they cannot create, edit, or delete them. They cannot view, create, or edit Widget Templates.

Note
Any users who do not belong to one of these three identities cannot access Dashboards, unless the permissions are customized, or a specific Dashboard has a private permission that overrides the default permission model.
