Is there a way to restrict access to User dimensioned metrics?

Hey ​@tgilbert ,
Can you share the dimensionality of Input metric - Is it just the “User dimensioned” metric ?

Hi ​@Chahat - yes the input metric is dimensioned by User and Version.

Although I’ve actually found a workaround: I created a Custom Users list which mirrors the native Users list. From there I can control access restrictions. This also has the added benefit that if a user leaves the company and we deactivate their account, we won't lose their historical inputs.

Yes, correct!
Custom Users (copied users) list is the appropriate workaround here.

thanks ​@Chahat! is there a best practice for keeping the Custom Users list in sync with the Native Users list? or do I need to manually add people to both lists?

Yes!
There’s a dynamic way - can you try the following approach:

• In the “Custom Users” List:
  • Add Items e.g. 1500 
  • create the unique property ‘Name’ with a formula  (datatype: Int)

    CUMULATE(1, ‘custom users’)

  • In the email property:

    User.Email[by lastnonblank: item(cumulate(1, User), 'Custom Users'.Name)]

  • Similarly , Fetch the person name

    User.Name[by lastnonblank: item(cumulate(1, User), 'Custom Users'.Name)]

Hope it helps!
