CaliberMind Insights - Sharing Dashboards & User Permissions

Sharing dashboards and changing user permissions

In CaliberMind, how do I share dashboards and what are user settings?

What are the different types of Users within CaliberMind?

  • Designer: Designers can create, design, edit, and share dashboards. CaliberMind Designers are able to share dashboards and determine whether the user with whom they share a dashboard has editing rights (Designer) or only viewing rights (Viewer).
  • Viewer: Viewers can view, explore, drill down, make selections, and filter the dashboards that Designers share with them. Viewers only need a standard web browser; no plugins or downloads. They cannot create new dashboards or edit existing ones.

How can I tell if I'm a Viewer or Designer in CaliberMind?

Viewer and Designer settings are different across dashboards, so the easiest way to determine which type of User you are is to look at an individual dashboard.

Designers are indicated by:

  1. Data schema selectors
  2. Pencil icons on widgets
  3. Format icons at the top of the dashboard.

Otherwise, you are a Viewer.
