This avoids building and maintaining separate dashboards for each user or region.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Row-Level Security Works in Zoho Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Row-Level Security in Zoho Analytics is an access control feature that restricts which data rows a specific user or group can see in a shared report or dashboard, based on rules that filter data according to the viewer&#8217;s identity or group membership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Row-Level Security<\/h2>\n<p>Use Row-Level Security when your reporting requirements go beyond what built-in defaults provide. This feature is most valuable for organisations that have moved past basic data viewing and need precise control over how their data is organised, queried, or presented. Teams working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or complex business logic will find this capability central to their Zoho Analytics setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations for Row-Level Security<\/h2>\n<p>Before configuring Row-Level Security, ensure that the underlying data tables are clean and consistently structured. Irregular naming conventions, mixed data types in a single column, or missing values can produce unexpected results. For shared environments, coordinate with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect reports used by other team members. Testing on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards is a sound practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>India Example:<\/strong> A multi-city real estate developer shares one sales dashboard with 12 city heads across India. Row-Level Security is configured so each city head sees only deals and projects in their assigned city. The managing director&#8217;s account has no RLS and sees all cities combined.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/viewer-permission-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Viewer Permission<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/shared-view-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Shared View<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/filter-zoho-analytics\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Filter (Analytics)<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Row-Level Security in Zoho Analytics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Row-Level Security (RLS) limits the data visible to each user at the row level. For example, a sales manager in Region A can only see data rows where Region equals &#8216;North India&#8217;, while a manager in Region B sees only &#8216;South India&#8217; rows.
