User tab

The settings in the Role and User tab are identical, but have a different validity: On the User tab, you administer the settings of single users. To show the settings of a user, select the user from the drop-down list. You can select for each setting, whether the value is inherited from a dashboard catalog role on the Role tab, or a user-specific value is saved for the user.

To inherit the settings from a dashboard catalog role, select the role from the Inherit from role drop-down list. Only roles are shown, which are assigned to the user. Select the check box in the Inherit column, to inherit a setting from this role. The value in the Value column is changed to the value, which has been selected for this role on the Role tab. If you select the option Global Settings (No Role) from the Inherit from role drop-down list, the default value is used for the settings with the Inherit option.

To save a user-specific value for a setting, click the cell in the Value column and change the value. The check box in the Inherit column is cleared.

You find the same settings on the User tab, as on the Role tab.

Note: When you create a dashboard catalog, the check box Inherit is selected for all settings and the Global Settings (No Role) is selected from the Inherit from role drop-down list. Thus, all settings have the default values.
