Roles & Access
🔐 Control who can see which databoards using access controls and BI-specific permissions assigned through Settings → Roles.
📍 Accessing access controls
- Per databoard — Databoard list or editor → Access controls dialog.
- Roles — Configure in Settings (Core module); assign BI permissions to roles, then assign roles to users.
BI permissions
| Permission | Code | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Manage Databoards Access Controls | ABI.DB.AC | Assign or remove users/roles on individual databoards |
| Unrestricted by Databoard Assignment | ABI.DB.UA | See all databoards regardless of per-board assignments |
Users without ABI.DB.UA only see databoards explicitly granted to them (or their roles).
⚙️ Per-databoard access controls
- Open a databoard → Access controls.
- Search and add users or roles.
- Save — only listed users/roles (plus unrestricted admins) can open the databoard.
Access controls apply to the BI app. They also affect ERP dashboard embedding — users need both ERP access and databoard access to see embedded boards.
🚫 Scope notes
- Shared public links bypass login but only for the specific share token — not general databoard access.
- Integrations and queries are not yet split by fine-grained BI permissions beyond standard tenant auth; focus access control on databoards for sensitive dashboards.
- Module access: users need the avantbi module enabled on the tenant to open BI at all.
