Creating a report without report_admin

mamor · yesterday

Hi there;

I have users needing to just create reports.

Apparently, there is no rights besides report_admin that will let them create reports.

But I don't want to give them report_admin right just for that.

Is there anyway to let them create reports with giving them report_admin?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @mamor,

Please assign the user both "viz_creator" and "report_user" roles.

This will allow them to create both the classic reports (if your instance hasn’t fully migrated to Platform Analytics yet) and the new visualizations in the Visualization Designer.

After creating a report or visualization, please don’t forget to share it - otherwise, it will only be visible to the creator.

If my answer helped you in some way, please mark it as helpful. Thank you!

Best regards,
Renat Akhmedov

Hi @mamor

An ITIL user can create a new report.

Hello Atul

If by ITIL user you mean a user with itil role, that's what I thought too. But in our instance, the itil role doesn't allow for the creation of reports.

When I click on All > Reports > Create New, I get the screen in attachment.

Am I missing someting?

Anyone with access to data can create a visualization of that data on a dashboard that they own. Users with the viz_creator role can create a visualization in theVisualization Designer. If you create a visualization in the Visualization Designer, it is saved to the library.
