Quick BI:Overview

Background information

Quick BI categorizes organization users into the following types and roles:

• User types

  Organization users are classified into three categories:

  • Developers: These include enterprise IT staff, data analysts, and data operations personnel.

  • Analysts: Business personnel who conduct business analysis with minimal technical requirements.

    Analysts create and utilize dashboards, workbooks, and other analytical tools.

  • Visitors: Individuals such as executives or managers who only view reports, or frontline business staff who solely access data results. Visitors can access dashboards, workbooks, and sites via URLs or subscriptions.

• User roles

  • Organization roles

    There are three predefined roles at the organization level, with the option to add custom roles:

    • Organization Administrator: Manages project information, status, and members. They can also designate other users as organization administrators.

      Typically, one to three individuals fill this role, often the project PM or those responsible for the BI platform.

    • Permission Administrator: Oversees permissions for project resources. One to three individuals usually assume this role, commonly those in charge of the BI platform. They are tasked with centralized permission management and allocation in the backend.

    • Regular User: Users who are not organization or permission administrators.

    • Custom Organization Roles: Tailored to specific business needs, these roles can be created as necessary. For more information, see Role Management.

  • Workspace roles

    At the workspace level, there are four predefined roles, with the possibility of adding custom roles:

    • Workspace Administrator: Possesses the authority to create, edit, use, and view all modules, holding the highest level of permissions within the workspace. They also manage other members' permissions and works.

    • Workspace Developer: Granted permissions to create, edit, use, and view all modules.

    • Workspace Analyst: Authorized to create, edit, and view modules such as BI portals, dashboards, data dashboards, workbooks, ad hoc analysis, downloads, and data preparation. They also have viewing permissions for data reporting and data sources, along with the ability to use and view datasets.

    • Workspace Viewer: Has viewing permissions for all modules.

    • Custom Workspace Roles: Custom roles can be established based on business needs. For more information, see Role Management.
