Genesys CX Insights credentials are managed separately from credentials for other Genesys Multicloud CX components. This page describes the steps you can take to create an account for a new user, change your password, or change another user's password.

Managing your own account

This section provides information about managing your own account.

Video: Changing your own password

This video describes how to change your own password, if your permissions allow it.

Changing your own password

Use the following steps to change your password. Not all users are permitted to change their password; contact your administrator to find out if the functionality described on this page is available for your use.

Important
If you have forgotten your password, or otherwise cannot log in, contact your administrator / next level of support.

  1. On the Genesys Multicloud CX Portal, click All Apps > Reporting GCXI.
  2. At the Genesys CX Insights login screen, enter your user name and current password.
  3. On the Genesys CX Insights menu, click your user name, and click Preferences.
  4. Click Change Password.
  5. In the Old Password field, type your current password.
  6. In the New Password field, type your new password, and retype it in the New Password Verification field.
    Passwords must be at least 8 characters, have at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, and one number.
  7. Click Change Password.

Predefined user groups and privileges

The group structure in release 9.0.011 and later is unlike earlier releases of the software.

If you require permissions different from those assigned to the predefined groups, Genesys recommends that you avoid modifying privileges for the predefined user groups, because these user groups are overwritten during upgrades. Instead, create custom groups by duplicating the user group you wish to modify, and edit the duplicate group.

The User Groups table lists and describes the predefined GCXI user groups.

  • CX Insights — membership in groups with this prefix allows users to work within the Genesys CX Insights project only.
  • General — membership in groups with this prefix allows users to work in any project.
  • iWD — membership in groups with this prefix allows users to work within the iWD project only.

Genesys Authentication

When enabled, Genesys Authentication allows logged-in users to navigate across multiple applications without re-entering their credentials. For more information, see Genesys Authentication Private Edition Guide.

The Configuration Server Access Groups table shows how Genesys CX Insights user groups map to Configuration Server Access Groups:

To learn more about Configuration Server Access Groups, talk to your Genesys representative.

  3. On the MicroStrategy Web Administrator login screen, enter your user name and current password, and click Login. The Tools page opens.

Subtractive access rights

In Genesys CX Insights / MicroStrategy, access rights are controlled using a subtractive model. User access rights are restricted based on group membership. If a user is a member of more than one group, then the access restrictions of the most restrictive group are enforced. For example, a user who is a member of the groups Tenant Developers and Tenant Editors has the privileges of Tenant Editors only. For this reason, Genesys recommends that you make each user a member of exactly oneAdmin Group and / or oneReporting Group.

If you are accustomed to historical reporting in Genesys Interactive Insights (GI2) / Business Objects, note that Genesys CX Insights uses an entirely different approach to limiting access, and while the term access restrictions in Genesys CX Insights refers to access rights granted to user groups, the same term in GI2 refers to restrictions placed on objects, rows, query types, and connections in the GI2 universe.
