Site-based, role-based access control for Assurance dashboards

Based on the scope or site-based assignment, the user can access and view the Network dashboard, Client dashboard, Issues dashboard, Application health dashboard, Network services dashboard, AI-enhanced RRM dashboard, devices, and clients.

Only new users assigned with site- and role-based access control have restricted access to their respective scope-based dashboards and widgets and can view only the limited number of devices, clients, network topology, global issues, and health score settings.
