Reporting on Responsibilities

I’m using Insights Reporting to try and summarise User Roles and Responsibilities.

I can see direct Responsibilities against Assets but not the inherited ones for Communities . Is this a gap in the Insights data model or in my understanding?

Thanks in advance.

This came up again today. - Hogan (or anybody) - Any thoughts on how we can provide a list of all users in a particular role without having to resort to the API ?

Thanks

That should be relatively easy with a global workflow. Press a button, get a link to excel extract.
Steps:

query all (non-disabled?) users
create an excel with the info
upload the file to attachments and put a link in a user task

You could even have a start form with configurations (include enabled/disabled, created since/updated since, have responsibilities, etc)

Here’s an example of how to create an excel file from a workflow: https://datacitizens.collibra.com/forum/t/attach-file-to-global-workflow/1380/5

Hello Hogan,

I knew it was not available. My question was “Can it be made available?”. I would like additional dotted lines between domain and responsibility and between community and responsibility.

Thanks

Hello @andrew.marsh.telus.com (and @bruno.van.vaerenbergh ),
Thank you for your inquiry.

Inherited responsibilities from the community level are not included in the Reporting Data Layer by design.

Please refer to the Responsibility table description located in our Insights documentation here:
https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Content/Reporting/co_reporting-data-layer-diagram.htm

Regards,
Hogan

Thanks for the response Hogan. So, if this isn’t available via Insights, Is there another way of reporting on this information en masse?

Thanks

Any more thoughts ? - I was reminded today how awkward it is to try and work around this limitation/design.

Helllo Andrew,

this seems indeed to be a shortcoming of the current insights model, we would very much like to have this information too.
