Activating storyboard theme admin

Hi Joan,

I hope all is well,

I have looked into this further running our latest build of 7.2 20170602 and I can see that in order to see the Storyboard Themes having ticked this in the roles permissions, you need to also have the Configuration ticked. This will enable the Admin Console and allow you to see this option. See images below showing this;

Let me know if this resolves the issue, if not this might be a case of it being a unique problem to the Interim build of which you have. I look forward to your reply.

Hi Mark,

After testing your proposal, we have realised that when granting the Configuration permission, the users has access to many more Admin options than only Themes administrations. Unfortunately, we cannot provide to the Writers with those other Admin tools.

Is there any other way to provide them with only the Themes administration?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Joan.

Hi Joan,

Thank you for getting back to me and giving me a bit more information to this issue that you are experiencing. Enabling the Configuration allows you to gain access to Admin Console, with this comes other admin options, see images below:

Unfortunately the configuration permissions covers certain aspects of the admin section as they are linked and designed to be used for admin users.

This is normal behaviour within Yellowfin and this can't be helped.

Moving on with this, we could possibly look towards raising something within the "Idea" section, as you can see below I have thought of 2 options:

1. Under Roles > Storyboard - we could add an option to have Storyboard Management for Themes of which can be viewed at user level for all types of users as opposed to just the admin. We could have this as an extra option within our Left Side Navigation menu.
   
2. We could consider having this placed directly within the Storyboard Setup section to allow us options such as upload a theme, manage etc. This would then cut out the roles options as mentioned in idea 1 above.
   
   

I would love your feedback on this Joan as this is something that could be submitted within our "Idea" section on our community. I look forward to your reply.

Hi Joan,

Thank you for getting back to me. I will go ahead and raise these 2 options within the "Idea" section. I will update ticket with the link so we can follow this. I hope this is ok and thank you for understanding.
