Hey, everyone.
I'm in an interesting predicament. I have one particular view of an App (let's call it AppPrime) that we've created that I want one specific role to have access to. Limiting the view of an App to just one page depending on the role of the user logged in didn't seem like it was possible, so I went a different route.
Instead, I re-created that one page into its own App (which we'll call AppSecond). Now, all of the saved searches and such used in AppPrime were made sharable across Apps, so that AppSecond could use those Saved Searches and display the reports and graphs on its duplicated page just fine.
So having done this, I created a new Role (let's call it RoleLimited) that ONLY is allowed access to AppSecond. However, when I access the Dashboard created in AppSecond, which is the duplicate page of AppPrime, the charts and graphs NO NOT show up. Basically, this is caused by the fact that RoleLimited still doesn't have access to AppPrime, and this is the part that confuses me: AppPrime's searches are all shared and are considered public, so shouldn't they show up anyhow?
So here's a couple of questions.
1) Is there actually a way to allow Users of RoleLimited to access AppPrime but limit which views it can have access to? I originally thought this wasn't possible, but maybe there is a way to do it and I should go down that path instead.
2) If 1 isn't possible, what's the recommended solution to the problem I'm seeing? Is there a way toaccomplish what I want to do without duplicating the Saved Searches in the AppSecond context? I don't wanna run two sets of the same Saved Search just because then both sets will take up processing power on the SearchHeads and such.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance to anyone who might have an answer that may help me.
James
