Authorized Users
This tab shows the list of users authorized to view Insight. The owner, can provide Insight access to any other user in the system.
| Access Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | This User has permissions to edit the Insight and provide access to other user for the Insight. |
| Read-only | This user has limited permission to Insight, such as view the details of the selected Insight. |
In an Insight, a user can only add resources to which user has access to. But when an existing Insight is provided access to other user then that other user (doesn't need to have access to the linked resources) can still view the Insight, view the resources and its execution details.
Authorized Groups
This tab shows the list of groups authorized to perform operations on the resources like Jobs, Insights, Schedules etc. A group is a list of users given access to a resource, in this case Insight. Groups are created by going to User Profile -> Profile & Settings --> Groups
There are two type of access types:
| Access Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | This group of users has permissions to edit the resources and provide access to other user/groups for the resources. |
| Read-only | This group has limited permission to resources, such as view the details. |
