DataStudio provides various modules. To help users quickly get started with the service, DataStudio displays different modules for users with different roles. In addition, after a user accesses DataStudio, they can adjust the displayed modules based on their business requirements. This topic describes how to assign roles to a user and adjust the displayed DataStudio modules.
Background information
Before a user can use DataStudio, the user must obtain the permissions of a specific role. The operations that can be performed by the user and the modules that are displayed in the left-side navigation pane of the DataStudio page by default vary based on the roles that are assigned to the user. A user can also adjust the modules that are displayed based on their business requirements.
