Intro to Portal: User Roles

User Roles

apricot_text_13 Portal allows you to give different users different roles, which allow them to do view/edit dashboards in different ways.

The admin user of an organization can adjust the user roles under “Configuration” → “Users”.

Viewer

  • Viewers cannot add annotations.
  • Viewers cannot see the MySQL query used to create a panel.
  • Viewers can look at dashboards, and change the time window within the dashboard.

Editor

  • Editors can add annotations.
  • Editors can view, but not edit, the MySQL query used to create any panel.
  • Editors can add and edit dashboards/panels in folders that they are given explicit permission to.

Admin

  • Admins can give other users access and change their roles.
  • Admins have access to all editing functions, like creating/deleting dashboards and panels, as well as editing MySQL queries and changing datasources.
