Controlling who can build & edit SmartView Custom Dashboards
The following guide describes how to grant and revoke the required permissions to allow users to create and edit their own SmartView Custom Dashboards.
Permission Summary
The ability to create personalised SmartView dashboards is controlled by a permission called 'Edit SmartView Custom Dashboards'.
This permission can be found at: User Management > Roles and Permissions under the section called 'Access to Reports'.
Without Permission | With Permission | |
Interact with the default evaluagent Dashboard | Y | Y |
Change default dashboard widget reporting periods & filters | Y | Y |
View the default dashboard widget information | Y | Y |
View the default dashboard on a large screen | Y | Y |
Edit or delete the evaluagent default dashboard | N | N |
Create, edit and manage their own personalised dashboards | N | Y |
Create, edit and manage their own individual widget tiles | N | Y |
Change the default dashboard that appears as their landing page | N | Y |
Note: The evaluagent default SmartView dashboard is read only, and so users will not be able to delete or change the layout of this dashboard.
What are the default permission settings?
All evaluagent default roles except agents are granted the 'Edit SmartView Custom Dashboards' permission, enabling them to build and edit their own personalised dashboards.
Any custom roles you may have created, and the agent role, will require the permission to be granted.
Assigning the permission
To assign the permission you will need the appropriate administrator rights to manage roles and permissions.
Navigate to User Management > Roles and Permissions
Select the role that you want to grant SmartView Custom Dashboard edit rights to
Check the option under the 'Access to Reports' section called: 'Edit SmartView Custom Dashboards'
Click Update
Revoking the permission
To revoke the permission to build and edit SmartView Custom Dashboards from a role/user, reverse the process above.
Revoking the edit permission will prevent the user from seeing or editing any personalised SmartView Custom Dashboards. They will only be presented with the default evaluagent dashboard.
Note: If a user who previously had the 'Edit SmartView Custom Dashboards' permission has it revoked, any dashboards and widgets they created are hidden only. This means that if you grant them the permission again in the future, they will once again see any dashboards or widgets they had previously created.
