Quick BI Premium Edition and Professional Edition provide organization management, enabling multiple users to collaborate on data development.

Scenarios

Organization management lets you centrally configure and manage users, roles, and permissions within a Quick BI organization, including organization-level features that standardize system settings and user experience. This helps build an efficient data collaboration mechanism and a secure, controllable analytics environment.
