Introduction

In version 6.3.2. a new functionality is introduced which gives the possibility to use Light Users. This is an evolution of the CXO Viewer, extending the available License Types to allow the creation of users with more access to the application's functionalities, e.g. they cannot access reports through the menu but only through shared content (storyboards or conversations) and can partially change and access the POVLight Users can partially change and access the POV. The status indicator is accessible to the light user, hence will be able to view the status of the workflow.

Access of the Light User

The Light User can login to CXO whereupon the page "to open My Storyboards" will open with a list of shared storyboards. Access to the report menu is restricted for the if logged on as a Light User as they can can only play Play these shared storyboards. All the POV dimensions are frozen apart from Year and Period dimensions. The Light User has the option to edit POV Comments in a storyboard and participate in conversations.
The Light User can have access to multiple entities set by the admin in POV Filters, however the entity dimension cannot be adjusted in the POV when playing a storyboard. See below the different entity filters for a light userLight User:
