Cutom data grid read access for guest John M  2018-01-31 01:48

Hi,
I have made a customer data grid based on a dataset and saved this under a new name. I would like to give a guest role user, read access to only this new saved custom grid view.
Is this possible?
From testing this out the user is only able to read the custom grid once I have given them rights to the whole dataset itself.
This feature would be useful to share subsets of data with other organisations, without showing all of the data.

Thank you for any advice.
John

Hi John,

No, this isn't possible with just a view. Permissions are only granular to the dataset-level at most, but not to the specific grid.

That being said, what I would recommend doing is to setup a separate container for those guest users and create a linked schema that points to that study dataset, then make that linked schema table available as a query web part to view and customize the default view or use XML in the linked schema to dictate what columns, filters, sorting, and lookups are enabled on the linked schema.

Doing the above would allow guest users to get access to the specific data you want to dictate to them without giving full access to the entire dataset.

Regards,

Jon
