Role-based access control to the Partner Center Insights dashboard

Appropriate roles: Global admin | Admin agent | Report viewer | Executive report viewer

The Insights dashboard uses two new roles in Partner Center to manage employee access to the reports - Executive Report Viewer and Report Viewer. Users in the Executive Report Viewer role have access to all reporting datasets, while users in the Report Viewer role will not have access to sensitive data sets such as revenue and customer/employee personal data.

As with other Partner Center roles, the Global admin or the Account admin will be able to assign users to those roles on the User management page. The roles can be applicable across the entire company or for specific Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) location(s). Roles assigned for specific MPN location(s) limit the user to viewing reporting data associated only with the selected MPN location(s). Partner can select one or multiple locations from the below view.

Note

Users who are MPN partner admins are automatically added to the company-wide Executive Report Viewer role for all locations for that tenant. These users are thus able to access the reports as an Executive Report viewer without any explicit action required by Global admin or Account admin. The Global admins and Account admins can override the auto-assigned roles of these users to further increase or limit their capabilities.
