Imagine you have a retail operation. Lots of stores nationwide.
You want to make a group of dashboards for the general manager of each store to see.
You also want to make dashboards for the dept managers of each store to see (GMs could also see them)
Then you want to make dashboards for some individual line staff by department as well.
What would be the best way to share this info?
Would you publish to a teamsite for each group (GM, dept managers, and line staff)?
Then add people to those sites via making an AD group that correlates to each one? "StoreGMs" as one AD group for example?
Just wondering how people are finding ways to do this well?
Thanks!
Sounds like this falls into the Company Level reporting. What I mean by that, is that these reports would be solely managed by you and the end users just need to consume them.
1) Something of this size I would be using a Tabular model with RLS to manage scale/usage and what they should see.
2) It would be up for discussion whether all the reports would live in the same Group Workspace for the Report Author (me) or different Groups for each level. (This is just a manageability question depending on # of reports).
3) I would create AD groups for each level so I wouldn't have to manage the security of each individual.
4) Share the dashboards with the AD group
This assumes that my process on the back end updates with new users/departments and that IT is assigning them to the appropriate AD group upon hire/termination.
