Datvuong Lee

Quality Engineer, Senior • MicroStrategy


This article describes the expected and current behaviors of the available tabs in MicroStrategy Workstation based on the privileges you are granted.

Description 


In Strategy Workstation, there are three tabs that make up the user management section: Users, Groups, and Security Roles. 
As of February 18th, 2021, there is a difference between the current behavior and the expected behavior when it comes to accessing the different tabs. 
There are two privileges that are supposed to grant access:

  • Create and edit security roles 
  • Create and edit users and groups
