User management in Mapp Intelligence allows administrators to control which users can access the platform and what actions they are allowed to perform.
Access rights are managed through a combination of users, roles, categories, and filters. By configuring these elements, administrators can define which products, analyses, reports, and data are visible to specific users.
Core Elements of User Management
User permissions in Mapp Intelligence are structured around four main components.
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Users | Individual accounts created for each person accessing the platform. |
Roles | Define permissions such as product access, analysis access, and report rights. |
Categories | Control access to reports and help organize them by topic or team. |
Filters | Apply permanent filters to analyses and reports for specific users. |
These components work together to determine the permissions of each user.
Users
A user represents an individual login to Mapp Intelligence.
When creating a user, administrators define basic information such as:
First and last name
Login name
Email address
Language
Number format
Password settings
Users themselves do not define permissions. Instead, permissions are assigned through roles.
A user can be assigned to one or multiple roles, allowing flexible access management.
Roles
Roles are the central element for managing permissions.
Roles define what users can access and modify within Mapp Intelligence. They can control:
Product access (for example access to Mapp Intelligence)
Account access
Analysis visibility in the navigation
Report permissions
Access to metrics and dimensions
If a user is assigned to multiple roles, the permissions from all roles are combined.
Categories
Categories are used to organize reports and control access to them.
Reports can be assigned to categories when they are created. Users can only view or modify reports in categories that are assigned to their roles.
Reports that are not assigned to a category remain private reports. These are visible only to:
the user who created the report
users with full report access
Filters
Filters allow administrators to apply permanent data restrictions for specific users.
A filter can automatically restrict analyses and reports to certain data sets, such as:
specific channels
regions
campaigns
Filters are assigned per account, and each user can have one filter per account.
How Permissions Work Together
Permissions in Mapp Intelligence are determined by combining the configuration of users, roles, categories, and filters.
A typical setup follows these steps:
Create users for each person who needs access.
Define roles that describe different permission levels.
Assign users to the appropriate roles.
Use categories to control report access.
Optionally apply filters to restrict visible data.
This structure allows administrators to configure access rights for different teams, responsibilities, and data requirements.
