MicroStrategy ONE

Assign Security Roles

The security role assignment determines the level of access a user or user group has within an environment or project. You can assign roles to users and groups in the Users and Groups section of the Workstation window.

See the following topics for steps to assign security roles:

Available Security Role Assignments

Application Administrator Users granted this role have access to all application specific tasks.

Analyst Users granted this role has authoring capabilities.

Certifier Users granted this role can certify objects in addition to the authoring capabilities.

Collaborator Users granted this role can view and collaborate on a dashboard or document for which they have access.

Consumer Users granted this role can only view a dashboard or document for which they have access.

Do not modify the privileges for an out-of-the-box security role. During upgrades to newer versions of MicroStrategy, the privileges for the out-of-the-box security roles are overwritten with the default privileges. Instead, you should copy the security role you need to modify and make changes to the copied version.

Privileges vary between releases. For the most up to date privileges, see the dashboard in Privileges by License Type.

For a list of out-of-the-box administrator security roles, see Privileges for Predefined Security Roles.
