Permissions for audit administrators

Users who are assigned the Audit Admin role, in addition to the Developer role, can access app feedback and usage information captured as part of the Natural Language API. An audit administrator can view a variety of usage metrics for Insight Advisor and Insight Advisor Chat. This API enables evaluation of patterns in user interactions with apps, including feedback provided for analyses generated by Insight Advisor and Insight Advisor Chat. This information can be used to improve user experience through adjustments to the app, either within the data or in the business logic of the app.

This API only returns app information from shared and managed spaces. An audit administrator does not have access to usage metrics data for personal spaces.

To view the usage metrics of an app, an audit administrator must also be assigned one of the following space roles in the space where the app is located.

Roles in shared spaces:

• Owner

• Can manage

• Can edit

• Can view

Roles in managed spaces:

• Is owner

• Can contribute
