System Activity Explore Access

[lcatbt]

Hey everyone,

I want to use the System Activity to provide some users a scheduler overview.
I know about the see_system_activity permission.

I do not want to grant them access to all system activity.
Therefore, I'd like to create an explore on the system activity and grant them access to the explore.

1. Is that possible?
2. If so, how?

Thanks a lot and best regards!

hey @lcatbt - good questions!

I personally not sure if you can grant access to certain System Activity explores. It's all or nothing as far as I aware. Also you can't modify or extend them as it's internal Looker objects.

But, you can:

• create analysis you want to share with your users and wrap it into lookml dashboard. Then it can be granted using standard Looker permissions mechanism by models. See my Github repo with some examples of System Activity one-tile dashboards.
• In June Google introduced new Lab feature - "Delegate Schedule Management", which introduces the manage_schedules permission. This permission lets users reassign and delete schedules on the Schedules page for the models that they can access. Perhaps, it can work for you instead of System Activity.

Hey @Dmitri_S ,

thank you for your answer!
- Like this, they will still not be able to see or filter the dashboard without see_system_activity permission, right?
- Yes, that would be great but unfortunately (so far) only on Looker original and not Looker Cloud Core.

Again, thanks!
