Overview
Fluent Analytics Studio uses Fluent Platform permissions to control dashboard access and retailer-level data visibility.After reading this article, you will understand:- the permissions required to access Analytics Studio;
- how dashboard access is controlled;
- how account-level and retailer-level permissions affect data visibility;
- how permissions are combined to determine retailer access.
Key points
`ANALYTICS_VIEW`is required for all Analytics Studio access- Page-specific permissions determine which dashboards a user can access and which retailer data they can view
- Permissions can be assigned at either the Account or Retailer level
- Data visibility is determined by the intersection of all assigned Analytics permissions, not by individual permissions in isolation
- Analytics Studio uses separate navigation roles to control application and page visibility. Access to dashboard pages requires both the appropriate navigation role and Analytics permissions
Analytics Studio Permission Model
Analytics Studio uses three permissions to control access to dashboards and retailer data.| Permission | Purpose |
`ANALYTICS_VIEW` | Required for access to Fluent Analytics Studio |
`ORDER_REPORT` | Grants access to Orders, Fulfilments, and Returns dashboards |
`INVENTORY_REPORT` | Grants access to Inventory dashboards |
`ANALYTICS_VIEW` permission acts as a global access gate for Analytics Studio. Users cannot access Analytics Studio unless this permission is assigned.Page-specific permissions determine which dashboards are available to the user.Permission ScopePermissions can be assigned at two levels:- Account Level - Provides access to all retailers within the account.
- Retailer Level - Restricts access to specific retailer IDs.
Navigation Access Roles
In addition to Analytics permissions, Fluent Analytics Studio uses navigation roles to control visibility of the Analytics application and individual dashboard pages.These roles determine:- whether Analytics Studio is visible in the application menu;
- which dashboard pages are displayed in the navigation;
- whether a page can be accessed directly via URL.
Application Access
| Role | Purpose |
`ANALYTICS_VIEWER` | Grants access to the Fluent Analytics Studio application |
Dashboard Page Access
| Dashboard Page | Required Role |
| Orders | `ORDER_MANAGER` |
| Fulfilments | `FULFILMENT_MANAGER` |
| Returns | `RETURNS_MANAGER` |
| Inventory | `INVENTORY_MANAGER` |
Hierarchical Visibility
Analytics Studio uses hierarchical navigation visibility.If access to the Analytics Studio application is not granted, dashboard pages remain inaccessible regardless of any page-level roles assigned to the user.How Data Visibility Is Determined
Analytics Studio evaluates permissions using an intersection model.For Orders, Fulfilments, and Returns dashboards, data visibility is determined by:`
`ANALYTICS_VIEW and `ORDER_REPORT`For Inventory dashboards, data visibility is determined by:`
`ANALYTICS_VIEW and `INVENTORY_REPORT`Users only see retailer data that exists within both permission scopes simultaneously.Data Visibility Examples
| ANALYTICS_VIEW | ORDER_REPORT | Visible Data |
| Account Level | Account Level | All retailers |
| Account Level | Retailer 1 only | Retailer 1 only |
| Retailer 1 only | Account Level | Retailer 1 only |
| Retailer 1 only | Retailer 2 only | No data (no overlap) |
| Account Level | Not Assigned | No data |
| Not Assigned | Account Level | No data |
