(v24) Seat Types

Seat Types

This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports

Each user in Symphony is assigned a seat type, which determines which areas of Symphony they can access if not restricted by other privileges. See Symphony Managed Dashboard and Managed Report Security.

• Standard Users and above (all users) can create and interact with views such as dashboards, reports, and slideshows to combine visualizations together, filter, drill down, etc.

• Power Users and above can create and edit metric sets to access data sources or cubes directly and choose which columns or dimensions to view and analyze, joining data sources together if needed.

• Developers can create and edit data cubes and access the full set of data transformation, querying, and scripting options.

Standard users can interact with metric sets created by other users but not directly with any data sources or data cubes. Similarly, power users can use data cubes created by developers but cannot see or change how the data cube was set up for them.

Administrators can assign seat types to individual users, or to groups of users that use floating seats.
