Quick BI:Apply for Permissions and Handle Permission Applications

Last Updated:Apr 29, 2024

In the Quick BI console, common users can apply for the permissions on the resources that are provided by Quick BI and resource owners can handle one or more permission applications at a time.

Background information

Quick BI provides a comprehensive permission system to ensure data security.

Users have the permissions to manage resources that are created by themselves in Quick BI. If a user wants to view or modify a resource that is created by other users, the user must apply for the permissions on the resource. Users can apply for the permissions on the following types of resources: business intelligence (BI) portals, dashboards, workbooks, ad hoc queries, downloads, forms, datasets, and data sources. For more information about resource object permissions, see Overview.

Apply for permissions

Quick BI allows you to apply for specific permissions on a specified resource. After your permission application is approved, you can perform the related operations on the resource based on your business requirements.

The following example shows how to apply for permissions on a dashboard. For more information, see Resource authorization.

  1. Log on to the Quick BI console.

  2. On the homepage of the Quick BI console, apply for specific permissions on a resource.
