Roles in dashboards
In Dashboards
you will see your dashboards for the specific group. Next to the name of a dashboard there is a role
section. The different roles that have access to a specific dashboard will be displayed.
If you want to change which roles that have access to the dashboard, click on the pen in the top right bar and edit where the roles are displayed by clicking on the box next to the name.
Access dashboards
A dashboard is only visible in the machine view for the role(s) that have access to it. In the bottom right corner you will see which role that is active.
By clicking on the active role and use the menu you can choose another role. In this example we are changing from operator to system administrator which displays yet another dashboard due to the different access of the roles.
