I am working on a BvA board and we need a placeholder (dimensioned text) to let the users come and drop there notes there. The catch here is only this text box has to be an editable field for them and rest of it has to be read only.

Hey ​@GaneshD ,

You can have the access rights preventing write applied to all metrics but this placeholder input metric.

@CDALMAY Thank you for the response. How can we manage the metric specific access?

@CDALMAY I could figure out metric specific editable access. Do you have an idea if an input by an user can be made visible to all other users?

Yes, inputs can be entered by a user with write access and will be visible to all users who have read access to those metrics, regardless of whether they also have write permissions.

Your setup will basically be a metric ARM_User of data type Access Rights and with a unique dimension User.
Populated as an example :

  • User 1 : Read / Write
  • User 2 : Read / No Write
  • User 3 : Read / No Write

Apply this rule to all the metrics you want to restrict inputs. All users will be able to see data but only User 1 will be able to edit.

 

Hope this helps
