Ability to more granularly control editing of Shared Formulas, Attributes, and non-shared Formulas

[dirons]

We embed Sisense into our application and produce pre-built dashboards for customers (which they cannot edit). We allow our users to create their own dashboards as well and with this comes the ability to create their own formulas.

We have found that allowing them to edit the name of their formula also allows the editing of our pre-built shared formulas and our attributes. While this only impacts the user locally, it can become a support nightmare, as customers can rename our pre-built items and make it hard to them troubleshoot.

We would like the ability to make these edit options more granular so that we can control (1) Shared Formula name edits (2) Attribute name edits and (3) non-shared Formula, local user dashboard, name edits.

Although we don't need this feature yet, we are likely to run into this same problem in the coming months.

We support multiple applications of data within a model, as there is crossover between the applications; however, our customers have granularity to choose which application data with which they are allowed to see when they create new dashboards.

We use column level security for attributes today so that Application A author can only see table of data pertaining to application A while Application B author can only see tables of data pertaining to application B (note that a user can have both author rights and see all both application data).

We found that this does not pertain to Shared Formulas.  This now increases the "noise" that authors see, as they are seeing formulas for an application that isn't something they can readily use.

Hello,
We would love to see some options regarding shared formulas in user roles manifests.

For example permission to create, edit, delete formulas.

Currently every designer is able to create, edit and delete any shared formula, and we want to prevent it.

Best Regards

Good news! This is planned for a future release!

Hello @dirons,

Thank you for sharing your idea and providing details.

We encourage people to continue to vote and comment. We use community interest as one of the ways we prioritize efforts, so every vote and comment can help turn a request into a reality.

Thank you again for sharing and being part of our community!

Additionally we find that shared formulas can be modified by anyone that has access to them.  We want dashboard designers to reuse the formulas but have data designers build the formulas.

Hi @DRay  which release is this planned for? Any ETA?

Hi @ramansingh89, There is not an ETA right now.

Currently, a user can view, modify, and delete a shared formula that doesn't belong to them, which raises confidentiality concerns.

It would be better if shared formulas were managed in the same way as shared dashboards, meaning that the formula would only be visible to the default user but could be shared with members of their group.
