Hi Devs, There is currently no authority to allow a user to see the Data Element app. Similar to See Data Entry Module, we need to assign authorities to user roles which allow them to see the Data Element/Indicator app and then to list data elements but not edit them. It would be so much easier to assign this as an authority to a user role rather than use the sharing function. Is there a reason why this is not included or am I missing it somewhere? Regards, Busoye ---

Hi Busoye, its actually “See data dictionary module”. I will rename this in the UI. You can use it for now. regards, Lars > **···** > > On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 8:19 PM, Adebusoye Anifalaje [busoye@hisp.org](mailto:busoye@hisp.org) wrote: > > > Addendum: I checked on the Demo instance and > > > > Version: 2.17 > > Build revision:17673 > > > > Regards, > > Busoye > > > > > On 7 Jan 2015, at 14:11, Adebusoye Anifalaje [busoye@hisp.org](mailto:busoye@hisp.org) wrote: > > > > Hi Devs, > > > > > > There is currently no authority to allow a user to see the Data Element app. Similar to See Data Entry Module, we need to assign authorities to user roles which allow them to see the Data Element/Indicator app and then to list data elements but not edit them.
