Dashboards are increasingly becoming a tool for tactical and operational levels within the organization. Administrators, directors, technicians, managers and executives find dashboards helpful, but each department must be able to see the metrics relevant to itself, and individuals within the department must have secured access to the metrics they own.

Dashboards must, therefore, be deployed within a framework of relevance, roles, privileges and security. Simply put, each user with access to a dashboard will have permission to view metrics that he or she owns and will not be able to obtain/view information that is unauthorized for that individual.
