Multiple Database Owners

In Virtutem Analytics the administrator can grant administrative privileges to a user on a reporting database through the role called   Database Owner . If a user has been added as a database owner, then the owner inherits all the privileges on the reporting database as that of the Administrator, except for the permission to rename and delete the reporting database.

Add/Edit Database Owner

To add a user as an database owner, open the corresponding reporting database listing in the "My Home" page. Invoke   Share -> Add/Edit Database Owner   option in the toolbar of the Explorer tab. A dialog box appears as below.

In the Specify DB Owners tab, list the users whom you want to add as database owners. You need to provide the email addresses of the users (or Virtutem Analytics User ID) with which they have registered to Virtutem Analytics account.


You can add users using   Add Users From   option, which provides you with the options to pick users from the following contacts lists.

  • Existing Shared Users
  • Zoho Contacts
  • Google Contacts
  • Google Apps Users

Each of these options are explained in detail under   Sharing Views to a User   topic.


You can delete a user as a owner of the database by deleting his email address from the list under the   Specify DB Owners   tab.  


Once you have included/edited the users, click on the   Next   button to go to the   Sending Invitation Mail   tab. A dialog box appears as below.

In this tab you can send Invitation mails to the new database owners, with a link to the corresponding reporting database. In the Subject box and Message box, you could type your own subject and message if you want to.


Additionally, by selecting the   Removed Members   option, user(s) removed as a database owner from this reporting database will also be notified. Click   Add   to complete the process.


Look for the message " Admin users have been successfully added. Notification email has also been sent to the users " at the top right corner of your screen, confirming the process.
