Question about user data filters on a workspace. Do user data filters get applied when querying and displaying the options in the Analyze view Filter dropdown? For example I have a user filter that should restrict what rows that user can see (something like

attribute/client = "private"

, but when in the Analyze tab the filter drop downs are displaying all the distinct values in the DB. FWIW, the rows/columns seem to be respecting the user data filter though.

Hi Patrick, which version of GoodData CN are you using for this? I ran some tests on my end, using GoodData Cloud, which is the more or less the same as the latest versions of CN, applying an UDF with this expression:

"maql": "{label/customer_country}=\"Canada\"",

, and the user to whom it applies cannot see any other options on filters or insights (see my screenshot). Have you made sure to select the same label/attribute that you filtered via the user data filter?

It does work as expected in that example. Though in your example if the table is something like

Country
Language

Canada - Engligh
Mexico - Spanish
France - French

If you add a filter drop down for Language, would you see all distinct languages in the DB? In my experience that is what I'm seeing on my end.

English
Spanish
French

Aha! Yes, in this case you would still see all the distinct languages in the DB; That’s because, even though Canada only has

English

, the

Language

attribute is not being filtered; Thus, it isn’t limited in the drop-down. In practice, although the user will be able to select these values (and see what they are), nothing will show up in the actual insight*. The only solution to that, presently, would be to also apply a User Data Filter to the second attribute,

Language

.

Thank you for confirming what I was seeing! Glad to know I did indeed configure it correctly.
