Introduction
In version 6.3.2. a new functionality is introduced. This functionality gives the possibility to use Light Users. This is an evolution of the CXO Viewer, extending the available License Types to allow to create users with more access to the application's functionalities, e.g. they cannot access reports through menu but only through shared contents (storyboards or conversations) and can change and access only partially the POV.
Access of the Light User
The Light User can login to CXO. The page "My Storyboards" with a list of shared storyboards will open. However, the access to the report menu is restricted for the logged on Light User. The Light User can only play shared storyboards. All the POV dimensions are frozen, except the Year and Period dimension can be adjusted by the Light User. The Ligth User has the option to edit POV Comments in a storyboard and start 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 user:
Entity Filter | How the Storyboard works |
---|---|
One entity | The storyboard will play the reports for this specific entity. The Year and the Period dimensions can be adjusted by the Light User. |
One or multiple entities with all its descendants | The storyboard will play the report for the entity that was selected when the report was added to the storyboard. In case the selected entity does not belong to the structure given access to via the POV filter the first entity in the POV filter for the Light User is used in the report and cannot be adjusted by the Light User. The Year and the Period dimensions can be adjusted by the Light User. |
No entity access | The storyboard will play the report for the entity that was selected when the report was added to the storyboard. |
Setup of the Light User
Light User = user who does NOT have the 'Access Menu and Full POV' permission. The manage Users function will be needs to be used by the security admin to create the Light User. Once the light user is created with its own POV security filter any Regular User can give access via a storyboard to a Light User. Just simply share a storyboard with the user.
The difference of the 'Access Menu and Full POV' permission are as follows;
Users WITH "Access Menu and Full POV" Permission | Users WITHOUT "Access Menu and Full POV" Permission |
---|---|
