Reporting

While users within a single account may only see reporting data from their own account, users with "All-Account" or "Account Group" access may pull data across all the permissioned accounts within their a Buzz instance. From the Report Builder UI, they will see a “required” field will appear for an Account ID Filter (this is distinct from the Account ID field). This filter can be set to a numeric account_id or the special term "any" which will allow querying across accounts (note, you will also likely wish to add the account_id as a field in the query definition).

By default, as seen above, this the report filter is set to the the Current Account the user is masqueraded into. However, they can also select all the , when opening the filter options, users may select the Permissioned Account IDs (in this case all Account IDs or Account IDs > 0). They can also change the logical “operation” to something like “is equal to” and select only a subset of Account IDs:Image Removed option to filter for all permissioned accounts in the buzz instance. Additionally, the logical operation may be changed as well to refine a subset of accounts. For instance, selecting the filter to be is equal to allows selecting a specific accounts to run the report to.

Info

It is suggested to add the account_id as a field in the query definition.
