Managing Permissions in Time Series Data Service

Can I assign permissions directly on dashboard level?

No. Permissions cannot be assigned exclusively on dashboard level. They are primarily managed on folder level.

How can I give a user different permissions in different dashboards within the same folder?

To allow a user to have different roles per dashboard in a folder, the user must first be added on folder level with the lowest permission level (Viewer).
Afterwards, the user can be upgraded in a specific dashboard (e.g. to Admin).

Can I add a user directly to a dashboard?

No. Users must always be added through the folder.
On dashboard level, you can only adjust the role (e.g. Viewer → Admin) if the user already has access via the folder.

What options do I have to manage access?

  • Role-based: Assign permissions through predefined roles.
  • Directly: Add specific users to a folder.

In both cases, access always starts at the folder level.

Example: A user should be Admin in Dashboard #1 but only Viewer in Dashboard #2.

Permission Example in the Time Series Data Service-3e3725

In Dashboard #2, the user remains Viewer.

Add the user on folder level as Viewer.

In Dashboard #1, upgrade the user’s role to Admin.

Tip: Use roles if many users require similar permissions. For individual cases, you can upgrade specific users in a dashboard.
