Pro User Profile
The Pro user profile provides access to all features available in Pyramid, while allowing access to be limited for each app in the application. The Pro user profile is normally given to advanced users (Admin users, BI developers, and data workers) and has a master switch for each of the apps in the application - Model, Discover, Formulate, Tabulate, Present, Publish, and Illustrate - determining whether the Pro users can open these applications and create associated content. Under these main switches are several sub-switches.
Add a Pro User 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 Pro.
- 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.
The profile is created with your name and Access and Features settings.
