Accessing user settings

To access the settings for an individual user:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Users.
  2. In the user list, hover over the user you want to modify.
  3. Click the Manage button that appears.
On the user’s profile page, you’ll be able to assign permissions to the user, set the user’s locale and query timezone, and set user attribute values.

​
Organization role

Organization Admin permissions are required to modify a user’s organization role.
The Organization role setting controls the user’s permissions to manage the organization. This includes the ability to invite and manage other users, manage database connections, and modify organization settings. Not sure what permissions to set? Check out the Common permissions scenarios guide to learn what permissions to set in specific scenarios, such as restricting access to datasets based on team.

​
Locale

The Locale setting defines the language of the Omni app interface for this user.
  • If a user-level locale is set, it controls the language this user sees in the app.
  • If no user-level locale is set, the user inherits the organization’s default locale.
For more information about organization and user-level localization, see Localization settings.

​
Query timezone

The Query timezone setting defines the timezone used for query conversion, if user-specific timezones are enabled for a connection. Refer to the Timezone settings guide for more information.

​
User attributes

User attributes, managed in the user’s Attributes tab, allow you to map user-specific variables to operations in Omni, such as querying, dashboards, and controlling data access. Refer to the User attributes guide for more information and examples.

​
Groups

The Groups tab lists the user groups that the user is a member of. To modify a user’s group membership, navigate to Settings > Groups.

​
Model Access

Model permissions determine the level of access the user has to individual models. Click on a model in the list to view more information about the user’s role and abilities:
Alt text
Use the User role dropdown to change the user’s model role. If custom roles are defined, they will also appear in the dropdown list. The Resolved Role and User Abilities sections will automatically update based on your selection.

​
Impersonating a user

Organization Admin permissions are required to impersonate other users. Additionally, admins can’t impersonate other admins.
The Impersonate user feature is useful for testing that access grants work as expected:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Users and click on a user. Note: If testing an access grant, the user must have a user attribute value that excludes them from the grant.
  2. At the bottom of the user’s details page, click Impersonate user.
  3. Create a new workbook based on the connection you want to test. In this environment, you can verify what the user would and wouldn’t have access to and adjust their permissions accordingly.

​
Resetting introductions

If a user needs a refresher on Omni’s latest features, you can use the Reset introductions button at the bottom of their settings page. This will reactivate any previously dismissed feature introductions - specifically, the tooltips that highlight updates - that display in the app:
