Can I hide an attribute in the Details page?

Question

We can hide attributes in a view, but is there a way to also limit who sees a particular attribute in the details page?

A characteristic can be assigned to an Asset Type’s scope, but there’s no way to assign role-level access to it within the scope. It’s all still done at the asset level, so I think we’re stuck as it is for now.

@scott.benson - great idea. I’ll check it out and report back here.

@jeffrey.evoy - Have you looked into “Scopes”? That will allow you to control which users can see which attributes.

This is a great use case, @jeffrey.evoy . We would also like to have “confidential attributes” for example to manage contract data in sharing agreements or urls in data location. Sometime it’s good to allow people to be aware of the existence of an asset and basic information without having access to all the details.

Pranay: I need the attribute to only be visible to Report Developers but not other roles, so it sounds like we’re not there in the Details page like we are in views. Thanks…

Hi Jeff,

If you’re looking to control attribute level view permissions, that’s something the platform doesn’t support as of today.

However, [At the cost of sounding pedantic] if you’re trying to remove the attribute from the details page if it doesn’t exist, you’ll just need to tweak the corresponding AssetType’s assignment page to ensure that the attribute(or characteristic) has the min value of 0. Hope this helps!

Thanks
