Different user types in Kapiche

A brief summary of the different user types in Kapiche.

Written by Cameron Parry

There are four user types in Kapiche: Admin, Creator, Explorer and Viewer.

Admin User

An Admin User has unrestricted access to all Kapiche Projects, can add/remove other Creator, Explorer and Viewer users, change user-access levels and can access all areas of Kapiche.
​
​Note: Admin users require a paid Creator License (your annual subscription usually includes a set amount of licences that can be allocated).

Creator User

Creator Users have access to all areas of Kapiche but can only access Projects that they have created themselves or Projects that they have been explicitly invited to. This includes building analyses, configuring themes, querying the data, and sharing Workbenches.

Note: Creators require a paid Creator License (your annual subscription usually includes a set amount of licences that can be allocated).

Explorer User

Explorer Users have read-only access to the specific Workbenches that they have been invited to. They can interactively explore those insights — switching between metrics, drilling into themes to understand the “why”, and applying filters — but cannot build or configure analyses themselves (such as creating themes or running queries).

Explorers can also use Ask Kapiche to explore the underlying feedback data conversationally, using the analysis they have been given access to as context.

​Note: Explorer users require a paid Explorer License (your annual subscription usually includes a set amount of licences that can be allocated).

Viewer User

Viewers have read-only access to the specific Smart Reports that have been shared with them. They can't see Workbenches, projects or any other reports in the same analysis, and they can't use Ask Kapiche. Viewers are ideal for stakeholders who just need to read a report, such as store, region or team managers.

A Viewer account is created automatically when you share a Smart Report with someone who isn't yet a user on your site. They'll receive an email invitation to view the report. You can also invite a Viewer from the Users page by choosing Viewer as the user type and adding them to one or more reports. If your site has approved email domains, people from those domains are given access the first time they open a report shared with them.

To see which reports a Viewer can access, expand their row on the Users page.

​Note: Viewer users require a Viewer License, which is separate from your Creator and Explorer licences.

Checking your licence usage

Admins can see how many licences of each type are in use, and how many remain, on the Subscription page.
