Web Analyst Privileges

These privileges correspond to the report analysis and creation functionality available to users of MicroStrategy Web. The predefined MicroStrategy Web Analyst group is assigned these privileges by default. The Web Analyst group also inherits all of the privileges assigned to the Web Reporter group. License Manager counts any user who has any of these privileges, but none of the Web Professional privileges, as a Web Analyst user.

MicroStrategy Web users that are licensed for MicroStrategy Report Services can view and interact with a document in Flash Mode, if the document was created before MicroStrategy 10.1 and was defined to display in Flash Mode. Certain interactions in Flash Mode have additional licensing requirements:

Users are required to license MicroStrategy Web Analyst to pivot row or column position in a grid or cross-tabular grid of data in Flash Mode.
Users are required to license MicroStrategy Web Professional to modify the properties of widgets used in a document in Flash Mode.

Beginning with 10.1, Presentation Mode replaces Flash Mode; newly created documents automatically display in Presentation Mode. For information on working with documents in Flash Mode and Presentation Mode, see the MicroStrategy Web Help.
