Overview

Semaphor provides powerful sharing and collaboration features that allow you to securely share dashboards and visualizations with team members, customers, and partners. With role-based access control and flexible sharing options, you can ensure the right people have the right level of access to your analytics.

User Types

Semaphor supports two distinct user types, each with different access patterns:

Organization Users

Organization users are internal platform users (employees of your company) with access to manage dashboards across multiple tenants:

• Can create and manage dashboards for customers
• Can share resources with both organization users and tenant users
• Must be pre-created in the system
• Available roles: ADMIN, AUTHOR, POWER_USER, VIEWER

Tenant Users

Tenant users are your end customers or external users of the platform:

• Limited to their tenant scope for complete data isolation
• Auto-created when first accessing the platform
• Can create and manage their own dashboards (with POWER_USER role)
• Available roles: POWER_USER, VIEWER
