Identify Event Monitoring Analytics App User Types

Identify Event Monitoring Analytics app user types and the tasks they perform to ensure that the setup process meets your team’s event monitoring analytics needs.

The Event Monitoring Analytics Apps license includes the permissions required by users in your organization to administer Event Monitoring Analytics and explore event data. Set up Event Monitoring Analytics by considering the different ways people can access Event Monitoring Analytics features and categorizing users into types. Here are a few examples.

In most cases, Event Monitoring Analytics addresses the needs of two basic types of people on your team:

• Users, who view Event Monitoring Analytics dashboards and datasets.
• Administrators or managers, who access all Event Monitoring Analytics functionality to create apps, dashboards, and datasets, and otherwise customize the Event Monitoring app experience.

Accordingly, when you set up Event Monitoring Analytics, creating two basic permission sets probably meets the needs of most users in your organization:

• A “view” permission set that contains the permissions needed by most basic-level users when they access Event Monitoring Analytics.
• A “manage” permission set that’s reserved for a select few administrators and managers and contains permissions to use all Event Monitoring Analytics features.

In the detailed Event Monitoring Analytics app setup instructions that follow, we show you how to create and assign these two permission sets. Or, you can use the standard permission sets we provide.
