Overview

The Administration area contains all the system, user, and content settings required to setup and maintain Yellowfin's use.

Administrator users are there to ensure:

  2. Users have appropriate access to data. This is done by creating and assigning access to Data Sources and Views.
  3. Users have appropriate access to content. This is done by creating and assigning access to Content Categories.
  4. The system is correctly configured. This is done by defining the Configuration and Content Settings settings required.
