Keep your model clean and your data secure without limiting your team’s access. With custom data access groups, you can grant view or edit rights down to the dimension member level and for a more detailed configuration than our default data access groups.
We are currently rolling out this new feature. If you don't see User Management in your Cube navigation, you'll see these updates soon!
Build access around how your business operates, from department to region, and ensure every user has the right level of access to work confidently in Cube. For example, limit a team lead's access to data from their own team, regardless of which report or dashboard they are viewing.
- In User Management, from any tab, click +Create, then click Data Access.
- Enter a unique name for the user type. Then click Next.
- Each permission row defines the dimensions this role has access to. Configure one or more permissions to ensure this data access group has the necessary permissions. Select the dimension members(s) across the permissions row by checking all or checking specific dimension members from the tree.
If you select a parent, all current and future children are included.
For each permission row, indicate the access level for the selected dimensions:
- View – Users can view data but not edit it
- Edit – Users can view and update data in the selected dimensions
Click Add Permission to add rows as necessary.
- (Optional) Add users to this data access group by checking the box next to their name. Add one or more existing users now, or skip this step and assign users later.
