Dashboard permissions

This section explains various dashboard permissions and scope.

Abbreviations

The abbreviations for the component options used in the Dashboard permissions are as follows:
*db: Dashboard
*cp: Component
*com: Common
*pt: Process Template

Scope of a permission

You can select only Component as the resource type and "View" as action. If you select Any for the process template while creating a permission, then the scope of that permission is across all process templates; whereas if you select a particular process template, then the scope of that permission is limited only to the selected process template. Similarly, you can also control the scope by specifying Any or a specific component. For example, the permission db_cp_view_<specific pt>_any allows you to view any component of the specified process template. The following table lists only the permissions with "Any" option; wherever applicable, you may select a specific entity instead of Any to limit the scope.

Example
db_cp_view_any_any
Let us assume that the administrator "admin" wants to grant the permission to a user "user2" to view any component of any process template. Also, to access the component, the user needs access to the Home > Dashboard menu option. The administrator grants the permission and access to the menu option using the User Details page.
The user can now login in Business Process Portal and click Home > Dashboard to open the Dashboard List/Dashboard page. As the user "user2" has permission, he/she can view any component of any process template.
