Relevant Roles and Allowed Roles
Roles in View Definitions
By assigning user roles to views, each view can be marked as having zero or more
Relevant Roles and zero or more Allowed Roles.
• Each user has Allowed Roles (the roles they are allowed to be in) and Relevant
Roles (roles for which this component was designed to be useful). Relevant roles
and Allowed roles contain the same list of items.
• If a view has no Relevant Roles marked, it is assumed to be relevant to all roles. If
a view has no Allowed Roles marked, it is assumed to be allowed to be used by
all roles.
• If some but not all Allowed Roles are set on a view, then only users for whom at
least one of their roles is also an Allowed Role on the view can see or in any way
interact with that view.
• If some but not all Relevant Roles are set on a view, then in some situations the
GUI may not show that view to a user unless who does not have that role. Even
though the view does not show in, say, a list of dashboards, the user can still
access the view if there is a page accessible to the user that has a link to the
unlisted view.
Each view can be marked as having zero or more Relevant Roles, and zero or more
Allowed Roles. The roles set on a view are compared to the user roles when a page
access is attempted. Users are assigned roles and these are matched against the Relevant
Roles and the Allowed Roles for a view. This restriction does not apply if the user has
the appropriate permission or if the view is in the user's personal module.
Roles in Query Definitions
Roles are taken into account when filtering Root Queries by role in the Data Browser, a
portal, or a report builder.
