The viewer user profile provides view-only access to the Pyramid apps, with the option of defining the level of interactivity for the different viewer user profiles. The viewer user profile is ideal for non-technical users who do not want to create content, but nevertheless require access to created content.
Add a Viewer Profile
Profiles are added from the Admin Console:
- In the left-hand menu, select Access > Profiles.
- From the row of tabs at the top of the page, select Viewer.
- Click Add Profile at the top-right of the page.
- Specify the basic details of the profile:
- Name: Each profile should be given a simple name.
- Description: Provide a light description of the profile for management purposes.
- Tenant Security: Each profile is attached to a specific tenant in a multi-tenant environment, ensuring each tenancy can set up its users according to its own needs.
- For each app, and then for general, select the name in the central column and specify Access and features as needed.
- Once you are happy with your selections, click Save.
The Profiles admin page opens.
Your selection here indicates the type of user that this profile applies to. For more information about user types, see User Types.
The Add Profile panel opens at the bottom of the page.
See below for details of the Access and Features settings.
A new profile is created for a viewer user, with the name and Access and Features settings that you selected.
Make this the Default Profile
When you create a new user, they are assigned the default profile for their user type. To specify which of the profiles should be the default for each user type, select the Default checkbox at the top of the page and then click Apply.
Note: You can override the default selection on user creation, but the defaulting here is intended to save you time and effort.
Access and Features
Set the interactivity level to the appropriate level for your Viewer users:
- High: Allows the user to interact with data discoveries and presentations, and to subscribe to Publications, and build reports in Discover Lite, Present Lite, and Publish Lite.
- Low: Grants user access to the following runtime settings in Discover and Present: drill-up and drill-down, expand and collapse, dice, quick sort, quick filter, pivot, totals, interact, actions, conversations, metadata info, show warnings, print or export, subscribe.
