User License Types
Nectari offers two types of user licenses - Full User and Viewer User. Both these license types are concurrent.
A Full User license might be the one for you if you want to:
-
Connect to different data sources
-
Consolidate and clean up data to prepare it for analysis
-
Create or modify reports and dashboards
-
Manage user access to reports and dashboards
Generally, a Full User is used by the administrator or the person with strong technical know-how on data management and analysis and how the solution works.
A Viewer User license might be the one for you if you want to:
-
View existing reports and dashboards to gain insights
-
Slice and dice data in the reports and drag and drop fields
-
Filter and sort the data and modify the look and feel of reports without saving any changes
Generally, a viewer user license is used by CFOs, CEOs, or Controllers who want to view existing reports.
Below is the breakdown of all the features available for the respective license holders.
