Authorization issue

Hello Helical Team,
I am using helical insight 4.1 GA. I have created a public folder and using ‘hiadmin’ login credentials created one metadata & report in the public folder. Now I access the report & metadata file with different users but does not display any data.

It’s throwing an exception (You may not have sufficient privilege to access the DataSource).

Thank You,
Snow.

Hello Snow,

It seems like that the datasource is not shared. There are 2 options now.

a. First is either you can share the datsource. The same can be done by going to the datasource page, view the connection and then share. You can share with execute permission also.

You can refer to this link Sharing Reports in Helical Insight - Helical Insight
Here towards the end we have documented how to share the datasource.

b. The second option is like you have made the folder public in a similar way you can also make the datasource connection also public. You can refer to the below link how the same can be done at your end. When you make the datasource public even if you add a new user / role / organization etc the datasource would automatically be shared with them.

Thank You,
Helical Insight.
