Web Client Administration and Security
The commands discussed in this section are available only to users with Administrator privileges.
Understanding Role-Based Security
What you can do with the Web client is determined by which role is assigned to your login. There are three default
roles; in broad summary:
• Users can view dashboard charts, create and export reports, create new report templates, and view and
comment on published reports
• Power Users can also publish reports and modify report templates created by other users.
• Administrators can do everything, including create and delete user accounts.
If the default roles are not appropriate for your needs, you may create new ones. See Add a User
.
