According to their positions and responsibilities inside the organization, users or groups are usually assigned particular privileges as part of this procedure. In addition to preserving data security and integrity, access mapping ensures that only authorized users may view sensitive information, create reports, and carry out associated duties. Organizations may create and manage reports and dashboards efficiently, protecting sensitive data and staying in compliance with legal requirements by clearly defining access limits and permissions. Access mapping for reports and dashboards consists of the following steps: - [General](/summit-platform/docs/access-mapping#general) - [Define Access](/summit-platform/docs/access-mapping#define-access) - [Publish](/summit-platform/docs/access-mapping#publish) ## General The General stepper allows you to define the details of the access mapping to reports and dashboards.
