Set Up a User

Administrators must set up new users in Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and assign them to the one or more Analytics Visualization roles that provide access rights to the available data sets and data visualization workbooks.

The steps for adding new users are described in the Cloud Services Administration Guide in Setting Up a User with Access to Analytics Publisher, Analytics Visualization, and Data Lakehouse. Use the information on this page to know what role types and data access permissions are available.
