Admin: users, groups & namespaces

Once your dashboards are live, the next question is always *who gets to see what*. Getting access right keeps the right numbers in front of the right people — and keeps sensitive figures like payroll or margins away from those who shouldn't see them. Users, groups, and namespaces are the three tools that make this manageable as your team grows, so a few minutes here saves a lot of cleanup later.

As you watch, notice the difference between the building blocks. A user is one person's login; a group is a bundle of users you can grant access to all at once (think "Sales" or "Finance"); and a namespace is a walled-off space that keeps one set of users completely separate from another.

A few concrete things to catch: how the presenter assigns dashboards to a group rather than person-by-person, the Author vs Reader roles and why that affects your bill, and where namespaces fit in — they're mostly for keeping separate organisations apart (for example, if you served different client companies), so most internal teams won't need them.

Because Intellova brings all your business data into one place, your dashboards can draw on everything from sales to operations — which makes access control the thing that lets different teams safely share that single source. Setting up groups like "Leadership" or "Ops" early means each part of your business sees the view that's relevant to them, without anyone stumbling into figures that aren't theirs to manage.
