Role level based database access

Managing Database Access Roles

Space administrators have the ability to control database access based on user roles. This functionality applies to all database types within CDT Admin. Here’s how it works:

• Full Access Override: The admin role can view and modify all databases, regardless of role mappings.
• Default Access: If a database has no roles mapped to it, it is accessible to all users in the system by default.
• Dashboard Restrictions: When viewing dashboards that contain charts linked to restricted databases, PDF download functionality is disabled for that dashboard for that specific user.
• Static Data Access: Charts displaying static data such as text boxes or images are accessible to all users, regardless of role restrictions.
• Shared Dashboards: Role-based access controls do not apply to shared dashboards.
