Some customers want their end users to have a report builder experience that is read-only, meaning that all reporting creating functionality is taken away. In some cases, even ephemeral analytical features like filtering and sorting are removed as well.

​
How does it work?

When you generate a JWT to be used for a report builder, you can add a rbc claim to the JWT that indicates the allowed editing features for the report builder. This is an optional claim, meaning it is not needed to construct a valid JWT. If it’s not passed in or the list that is passed in is the wildcard string (["*"]), all functionality will be allowed. By default, end users will always be able to:
  • View reports.
  • Toggle favorite reports.
  • Configure scheduled emails.
Pass specific key words to allow corresponding capabilities:
  • flt -> Allow filtering of reports
  • srt -> Allow sorting of reports
  • core -> Allow core editing functionality (creating/editing reports, adding/editing views)
  • crt-view -> Allow creating a new view within an existing built-in report
  • fork -> Allow saving as a customer report after modifying an existing built-in report
Note: If you are enabling core functionality, you don’t need to explicitly include view or fork, as they are covered by core.
Note: The fork and crt-view permissions will not allow modifying the underlying data.
Note: The fork permissions will allow saving changes on forked customer reports.
By default if the rbc claim is in the JWT with the empty list ([]), then all editing capabilities are disabled. Here are some example configurations: 
[]                 // Disable all editing capabilities
["flt", "srt"]     // Allow filtering and sorting
["flt"]            // Allow only filtering
["srt"]            // Allow only sorting
["crt-view"]           // Allow creating new views in built-in reports
["fork"]           // Allow saving modified built-in reports as new customer reports
["crt-view", "fork"]   // Allow both viewing and forking
