sharing settings on DataElements / metadata

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hello,

We have realised that dataElements (and I think other metadata) are visible to everyone by default (in contrast to dashboards). Nevertheless we need that only a group of users have access to these dataElements.

If we group these DE in a DEGroup and we change its visibility, the DE remain visible to everyone.

The questions are :

  1. What do you recommend us to do?

  2. Is there a way to change easily this visibility without doing an script/App ?

  3. If not, is there an easy way through the API? (i.e. add a group keeping the existing ones )

Thank you so much !

Ramon.

Hi Ramon

In order to hide certain data elements, you need to set up sharing for each individual data element, the data element group, etc. I am not aware of a very easy way to do this though would be happy to hear other methods.

Hey David !

Wow! That’s amazing! I used to reset all elements like that :

dhis2-pk-share-objects.exe -t=userGroups -f=“id:!eq:1” -a=none -w=“name:$ilike:NTD Team”

Thanks a lot ! Nice work !

Hi Ramón

If you have a structure in your metadata it’s easier to share all of them through the API (docs). I need to do this often, but I don’t like advertising my own stuff - feel free to use it if useful. https://github.com/davidhuser/dhis2-pocket-knife#mass-sharing-of-objects-via-filtering

Best,

David
