Roles & permissions — everyone sees exactly what they should

Use roles and granular access profiles to control who sees which data and can use which features. A client sees only their segment, your team gets the full depth — multi-tenant for institutes and multi-client environments.

DataLion dashboard with a client-specific view filtered to one segment via an access profile

DataLion controls access through user roles — Admin, Editor and Viewer — and granular access profiles with preset filters and enabled features per user or group. So a client sees only their segment. DataLion is multi-tenant capable (release 2026.1), and API settings can be configured per access profile.

Three roles for every team

DataLion has three user roles: Admin manages projects, users and settings, Editors build dashboards and run analysis, and Viewers see and filter the finished results.

Responsibilities are cleanly separated from the start — without anyone holding more rights than they need.

  • Admin: manage projects, users and settings
  • Editor: build dashboards and analyze data
  • Viewer: view and filter results

Access profiles with preset filters

Beyond roles, you control access with granular access profiles: per user or group you set preset filters and decide which features are enabled.

The classic scenario: each client gets a profile that automatically limits their view to their own segment — same data, same dashboards, but only the relevant rows.

  • Preset filters per user or group
  • Enabled features per access profile
  • A client automatically sees only their segment
  • One dataset, many tailored views

Multi-tenant and controllable via API

DataLion is multi-tenant capable (release 2026.1): you keep clients and projects cleanly separated — ideal for institutes, agencies and enterprises with many stakeholders.

The API settings can also be configured per access profile. So every integration accesses exactly within its permitted scope — consistent with the rights in the interface.

Common questions about roles & permissions

Which user roles does DataLion have?
Three: Admin manages projects, users and settings; Editors build dashboards and analyze data; Viewers see and filter the finished results.
How do I make sure a client sees only their own data?
With an access profile that has a preset filter. It automatically limits the user’s or group’s view to their own segment — with the same data and the same dashboards.
Can I enable individual features per user?
Yes. Access profiles define, per user or group, which features are enabled — in addition to the preset filters.
Is DataLion multi-tenant?
Yes. DataLion is multi-tenant capable (release 2026.1) and keeps clients and projects cleanly separated — ideal for institutes, agencies and multi-client environments.
Can API access also be restricted per profile?
Yes. API settings can be configured per access profile, so every integration accesses exactly within its permitted scope — consistent with the rights in the interface.
