We have (here at the University) some course dashboards we’re working on. The source data has obfuscated userIDs, and dashboard dev is going swimmingly. We want certain privileged users to be able to view these dashboards with actual (human-friendly) userIDs (we call “netIDs”). I’ve set up an automatic lookup to turn “personID” in to the netID value … but only if the privileged user is in a particular role. I.e., the lookup is only available to users in the 'privileged' role. This works great. The dashboards work for both privileged and unprivileged. (Unprivileged get the obfuscated ID, privileged get the ID from lookup.) However… persons without access to the lookup are getting errors about not being able to locate the lookup. My question: Is it possible to suppress these errors? They’re reporting a lack of access that is intentional. If there is no way to suppress the errors — is there another way to design this? (I don’t want us to have to manage separate sets of dashboards.)
