Granting Power User Access to Glossary Sections and Terms

In Metric Insights, Power Users have to be granted a specific Privilege to be able to edit Glossary Sections and add Terms. This article describes the steps an Administrator should take to give the Power User access to Glossary.

Granting Edit Access

Edit Access permits the Power User to see the Glossary entry in the Content menu, open the Terms and Sections lists and add new Terms.

A Power User can get access to the Glossary individually or inherit it from the Group he/she is a member of. For more details about granting Access to the Group, check the Assigning Privileges and Permissions to the Group article. A Power User can grant access to the Glossary to Power Users who are members of the same Group or the ones the PU has edit access to.

Assign a "Create Glossary Section and Terms" Privilege

Access Admin > Users & Groups and click on the PU's Active Name link to open the User Editor

NOTE: "Create Glossary Section and Terms" Privilege can be a part of a Privilege Set. Assigning Privilege Sets rather than specific Privileges is recommended in Metric Insights, so check the Privileges List at the bottom of the page.

  1. On the Info tab scroll the page to the Privileges section
  2. [+Privilege To User]
  3. Filter the list by "glossary"
  4. Find the "Create Glossary Section and Terms" Privilege and select the checkbox
  5. [Save]

Additional Option

By default, Power Users who have the Edit Access can grant other PU's access to the Glossary, but it's limited to the Users that are members of the same Group. The Administrator can allow the Power User to grant access to the Glossary Sections and Terms to any PU or Group by assigning the Allow Power Users to grant Glossary Section or related Term access to any User or Group Privilege.

Assign "Allow Power Users to grant Glossary Section or related Term access to any User or Group" Privilege

Access Admin > Users & Groups and click on the PU's Active Name link to open the User Editor

  1. On the Info tab scroll the page to the Privileges section
  2. [+Privilege To User]
  3. Filter the list by "glossary"
  4. Find the "Allow Power Users to grant Glossary Section or related Term access to any User or Group" Privilege and select the checkbox
  5. [Save]
