Remove the comment function

MClay — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:00:43 GMT

I'm using VA 7.5 and the report viewer documentation says, "If you have been granted the ability to add and view comments, you can add comments to a report, a page, or an object. Comments are saved with the report" (link here). However, I cannot find the instructions on how to deny the ability to add comments in the admin documentation. Can someone please share some instructions or documentation for this? We do not want any comments allowed on several reports.

Turning off comments when sharing the report w/ a link is not a viable option in this case because users are signing into VA.

Thank you in advance.

Users will need to be in a Visual Analytics role that does not have the Add and View Comments capability enabled.

However, this applies to all reports, not just some.

Thank you Madelyn, that documentation was just what I was looking for.
