How to give users with only snc_external role access to dashboards?

Hi, 

I have enabled the Explicit Roles (com.glide.explicit_roles) plugin that provides the snc_external and snc_internal roles. 

How can I give a user that only has the 'snc_external' role access to the dashboard overview and a dashboard. 

Have added user with access to the dashboard, and added snc_external to read ACL for table 'pa_dashboard', but still being stopped by 'Security constraints prevent access to requested page' 

 

Anyone?

Hi,

I would talk to your ServiceNow representative. snc_external is a role that basically is used for end users and I'm not sure they are allowed to use dashboards. Since they are end-users, they can only see their own records and that would probably wouldn't be enough data to be needed to handle by a dashboard. Are they using a Service Portal? There is baseline functionality to show reports on a portal that might meet up with the requirements that you have.

Thanks for reply Göran. 

 

I still havent found any solution to this.

Does anyone know how to give access to a dashboard for a user with only snc_external role?

Preben,

Make sure you've added the 'snc_external' role to the following:

  • pa_dashboard.read acl - sounds like you've done this
  • using the 'Share' icon on the pa dashboard
  • Each tab (page) on the dashboard (in the dashboard properties)
  • any table used to show data on the dashboard widgets

These users also have the pa_viewer role in our instance. This was driving me crazy the last couple of days, hope this helps.
