As admin, it would be helpful to be able to:

(1) export a full user list 

(2) see which dashboards a user has access to

(3) share multiple dashboards with a user - with option to turn off the notification emails

  I don't have a suggestion for #'s 2 and 3. Those are good questions that I've pinged Sisense Support about as well.

  In regard to #1, have you used the API? I use the users/ endpoint to get a list of active users. This is an example output:

  [
  {
  "_id": "57dae9c456ec923823000002",
  "active": true,
  "email": "email_address1@example.com",
  "firstName": "Matt",
  "lastLogin": "2016-09-15T18:34:44.641Z",
  "lastName": "Murdoch",
  "userName": "email_address1@example.com"
  },
  {
  "_id": "579a1873160a9ccc41000011",
  "active": true,
  "email": "email_address2@example.com",
  "firstName": "Elektra",
  "lastLogin": "2016-07-28T14:44:19.406Z",
  "lastName": "Natchios",
  "userName": "email_address2@example.com"
  }]

  Hi Nicole,

  These are great feature suggestions, we are already considering for next year.

  We are looking into how we can enhance dashboard administration including providing an administrator with a view of all the dashboards in the system, and which users are sharing them.

  Additionally, we are considering providing more fine-tune granularity to the email settings in a system, and to be able to toggle on/off different types of emails generated by the system.

  These features are still in planning stages, and I look forward to sharing more information about them in the future.

  Regards,

  Ahuva

  Any news on this, @Ahuva you mention of working on a solution two years ago, has it been implemented?

  Respectfully,

  Al

  Hi Albeiro,

  We have implemented advanced dashboard search capabilities.

  An administrator can now search for all dashboards shared with a user using the filter: "Shared with".  This is available since version 7.4, as part of the dashboard admin functionality we have invested in this year.

  See documentation here:

  • https://documentation.sisense.com/latest/using-dashboards/locate_dashboard.htm#gsc.tab=0 
  • https://documentation.sisense.com/latest/using-dashboards/viewing_dashboards.htm#gsc.tab=0.

  Regards,

  Ahuva

  @Ahuva,

  That is not what I was looking for. This only answers to what dashboards a user has access to. What I am looking for is the ability to export a full list of all of my users with their names, email address, primary roles, and groups.

  Respectfully,

  Al

  Hi Albeiro,

  When I wrote we were considering features, I was referring to the dashboard administration capabilities. In that area we did release many new capabilities this year.

  Regarding exporting the user table to a file, at this point, I can recommend using a script over REST API to extract the information you are asking for.  I will keep this request in mind for the future.

  Regards,

  Ahuva
