Two different user roles

  • Admin: Company administrators have full access to everything, including all BI Book content and permission to manage users and their access to BI Book content. Admin role has replaced both Admins and Superadmins in BI Book (Release 2025 - 4.0).

  • User: This is a normal BI Book user whose permissions to BI Book content are managed by the company administrators (i.e. Admins) through individual permissions or user groups.

    User role has replaced both Readers and Editors in BI Book (Release 2025 - 4.0).

Functionalities that are exclusive to Admins

  • Refreshing reports

  • Creating embed links

  • Everything under Company Management page, including but not limited to adding/deleting user or/and user groups, editing user rights or user group permissions, activating/deactivating integrations, monitoring event log, etc.

  • Granting access to the BI Book content objects
