The Authorisation Groups tab lets you create, search for, edit and delete authorisation groups.
Authorisation groups allow you to define, for each user and each role, a set of 'rights' (or authorisations) for using DigDash features such as Add a Flow or View a Dashboard.
This means you can simply assign the same authorisations to several users or several roles. See section Creating a user for more details.
A set of permission groups are provided by default:
| System Administrator | Users in this group have permissions to manage servers, users, licences and documents. |
|---|---|
| Role Administration | Users in this group have permissions to view users, manage user settings, roles and documents: add a role, submit a document, etc. |
| Indicator designer | Users in this group have permissions to create indicators: add a flow, refresh a flow, create a (graphical) flow, etc. |
| Data model designer | Users in this group have permissions to create data models: add a Flow, add and refresh a data source, etc. |
| Dashboard Designer | Users in this group have permissions to create dashboards: add a Flow, refresh a Flow, edit a dashboard, customise a dashboard, etc. |
| Supervisor | Users in this group have access to all DigDash Enterprise features with the exception of the Allow Identity Borrowing permission. |
| End User | Users in this group have permissions to use a dashboard: view a dashboard, save as PDF, use ad-hoc analysis, etc. |
| End user for Self-service BI | Users in this group have the permissions to be autonomous in creating and using a dashboard: accessing the dashboard wizard, editing a dashboard, using ad-hoc analysis, etc. |
The list of authorisations for the groups provided by default is described in the following pages List of authorisations and Authorisations (ACL).

You can use the search bar to quickly find the desired permission. - Click Save.
Editing an authorisation group

In the case of editing a group of permissions delivered by Digdash, the permissions included by default are coloured purple.
