Introduction

In version 6.3.2. a new functionality is introduced. This functionality gives the possibility to use Light Users. This is an evolution of the CXO Viewer, extending the available License Types to allow create users with a more access to the application's functionalities, e.g. they cannot access reports through menu but only through shared contents (storyboards or conversations) and can change and access only partially the POVs.

Access of the Light User

The Light User can login to CXO. The page "My Storyboards" with a list of shared storyboards will open. However, the access to report menu is restricted for the logged on Light User. The Light User had the only possibility to play the storyboards that are shared.. All the POV dimensions are frozen, only the Year and Period will be excluded.  The Ligth user has the possibility to edit Page Notes and POV Comments in a storyboard. Also can the Light User open and start conversations.
The Light User will only have access to one entity from the structure of the source. The entity dimension will be frozen and the Light User cannot change it. However, there are still possibilities to give a Light User a view of different entities see below what the options are. 

Entity FilterHow the Storyboard works
One entity

The storyboard will play the reports for this specific entity. The year and the period can be selected by the Light User.

One entity with all its descendantsThe storyboard will play the report on the entity that was selected when the report was added to the storyboard. In case the selected entity does not belong to the structure given access to via the POV filter the first entity where the light user has rights to will be shown and cannot be changed by the light user. The year and the period can be selected by the Light User.
Two entities with all its descendantsThe storyboard will play the report on the entity that was selected when the report was added to the storyboard. In case the selected entity does not belong to the structure given access to via the POV filter the first entity where the light user has rights to will be shown and cannot be changed by the light user. The year and the period can be selected by the Light User.
No entity accessThe storyboard will work on the entity that is used when the report was added to the storyboard.


Setup of the Light User

Light User = user who does NOT have the 'Access Menu and Full POV' permission. The manage Users function will be needs to be used by the security admin to create the Light User. Once the light user is created with its own POV security filter any Regular User can give access via a storyboard to a Light User. Just simply share a storyboard with the user. 


The difference of the 'Access Menu and Full POV' permission are as follows;

Users WITH "Access Menu and Full POV"
Permission
Users WITHOUT "Access Menu and Full POV"
Permission

In CXO-Cockpit:

  • have the Menu to open reports
  • View Home Report
  • Viewing a report: can change any POV (following the current rules)
  • Can create storyboards, share them and have any role on storyboards ***


In CXO-Cockpit:

  • do NOT have the Menu to open reports
  • Do not view Home Report
    • Home for these users will be the 'My Storyboards' Panel (clicking on Home function), they will be reverted there
    • If the user has no shared Storyboard, show in the panel a sentence as "You do not have any shared storyboard yet"
  • Viewing a report:
    • can change ONLY Period and Year POV (following the current rules)
    • can't change any of the other POV, i.e. the POV will be frozen on the first option (the first option will be determined following the current rules)
  • Can't create storyboards, can have only 'Viewer' role on storyboards shared with them
