Configurable way to dynamically show/hide Simply Ask based on the user

Hi dirons,

The above sounds like it would save a heap of time, especially if it was incorporated on an interface level.

I can suggest a workaround in the interim here, a dashboard script that will hide the button if the logged in user exists in a list of predefined groups.

You'll need to populate 'groupsWithNlqDisabled' with the group ids that you'd like to disable Simply Ask for.

let groupsWithNlqDisabled = ['650102a9c4cf84c6765c6752', 'groupid2', 'groupid3']

dashboard.on('initialized', (dashboard)=> {
  if (prism.user.groups.some((g)=> groupsWithNlqDisabled.includes(g))) {
    $('.nlq-main-button').hide()
  }
})

Let me know if this works for you in the interim?

Thanks,

Daniel

rapidbisupport - Thank you for the idea.  This is something we can try!

DRay - That is correct.  Instead of a dashboard setting, allow it to be more dynamically linked to groups.   Our two levels of customers have access to some of the same common "basic" dashboards that we produce.  I would like to only expose to this to our premium customers.  We can try the dashboard script but if there were a way to do this, without a script manager or having to control with process, it may result in a more streamlined dev and deployment approach.

Hello dirons 

Thank you for submitting this Idea. If I'm reading this right, you are asking for the ability to allow access to Simply Ask based on the users group, is that correct?

Hi dirons , 

Just adding to the workaround here given context - you could create a plugin that applies this to dashboards across the platform without having to update each dashboard individually.

If you wanted to get fancy, you could either specify folders, dashboards, or anything that's exposed to Sisense when the user interacts to set the rule here.

Happy to elaborate on a short call if you'd like / if appropriate?

Thanks,

Daniel
