Section Access

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

We have the dashboard section access implemented but those dashboards are visible to all the users and accessible by users who have access added.

But what we want is dashboard should be visible to only those users who have access rights not to every one.

how this can be achieved,

Thanks

Correctly set up, this should work the way you want. Have you:

used initial data reduction based on Section Access? (Settings - Doc Properties - Opening)
used strict exclusion? (Settings - Doc Properties - Opening)
set users to be USERs and not ADMINs?
used CAPITAL LETTERS in Section Access?
used CAPITAL LETTERS for the reducing field?

I have documented some of the common issues that can cause section access to fail in this post.
