Permissions

Permissions define access to visuals, datasets, data connections, and system-level functions. There are four categories of permissions: system, role, connection, and dataset.

When defining privileges, the following default permissions exist at each level:


System-level permissions: site-level capabilities	Role-level permissions: defined separately for each role	Connection-level permissions: defined separately for each data connection	Dataset-level permissions: defined separately for each dataset
