Nitro Explorer Managed Roles
Roles in Nitro Explorer are used to manage access to features, functionality, dataset, charts, and dashboards. Default roles are established by Nitro Support. Nitro support assigns database users a role that is specific to them and their level of data access, as inherited from the security configured in the Nitro database.
Charts and datasets generated from a common database. For example, production__v::role__v are hidden from Nitro Explorer. To make these charts and datasets visible for report creators, Nitro admins must assign users a custom role.
