3 Control Who Sees What

Define the privileges and access users have within each role.

Reporting and Analytics provides a flexible data access control model that lets you create a streamlined experience for users so they see only the data that is important to them. Roles support business functions within your enterprise. Every user must be assigned a role. Data access is controlled within each role of the enterprise.

Note:

The administrator can grant data access not only to view certain screens, but can also grant further access to edit the screen.
The following table describes the data access controls:
