Wave 113: App Level Security

App level security is the basic level in security. All the data is stored in the app. 

There are two default apps: Private and shared app.  

Private app is the most restrictive app.  

Shared app is the most open app. Everyone who has analytics cloud enabled is able to see them.  

In wave you will create different apps for different sets of users. Ex: marketing; finance;sales;etc. 

You can login as any end user and see the app they have view to from manage users.  

An app can be shared to a user, role or group.  

On role, you can choose to include the subordinates if required. 

The access can be of view, edit and manager access.  

If you are giving access to another user he/she should have the access else you will get insufficient access error.  

Errors:  

The dataset 'Bookings' used by this dashboard is not available.  

This means that the dataset is not available but the dashboard is available. 

To fix this we need to go to the dataset and put it in a more visible or higher access privilege app.  

You can put the datasets in app A and dashboards in app B.  

General practise is to keep the dashboard and the dataset in the same app.  

You can change the sharing of an app by clicking share.  

Viewer is the most basic permission.  

Editor can save changes to the dashboards, lenses and datasets in the app + Viewer access. 

Manager can change the app settings and share it with other end users or rename and delete the app. + Editor Access.
