Dashboard security on components

[drizzt]

Hello


Can I make certain parts of a dashboard visible/invisible based on the security roles defined in my BI server?

For example, is it possible to make the 'sales by territory' invisible for the users with the role 'Business analyst' in the Steel Wheels example?

Thanks

Hi,
I did that to show/display chart according roles.

I create a role "superV" and a function in a codesnipet or external file, with in parameter the id of the div to hide :
var tab_roles = Dashboards.context.roles; //retieve roles of the user
function hideForSuperV(idDiv) {
for(var i= 0; i < tab_roles .length; i++) //browe the table of user
{
[I] if(tab_roles == 'superV') // if there is the superV role
{
$('#'+idDiv).hide(1); //hide the kpi where the id passed in parameter
}
}
}

And i call the function in a Pre execution script of a component. In my case it was in a selector component.
function f()
{
hideForSuperV('idDiv');
}

Maybe there is a better way, but this it's mine and it works

Cheers
