The Uploader Role
By default, any user with the "explorer" role can upload files. If you want to restrict users from uploading files, follow these steps:
- As a Tenant Admin grants yourself the “upload_admin” role (edit your own roles, see instructions for editing roles below)
- Reload the UI to refresh your roles
- Go to Admin > Global Settings
- Check "Require the "uploader" role for file upload" box
With these setting, only users with the "uploader" role can upload files.
Editing User Roles
Bring up the list of users by selecting "Users" from the "Admin" menu.
You can then check the boxes for the roles you want to grant the user.
To introduce a new role, simply type its name into Roles. Type a comma at the end of the list and add the name of the new role. Double quotes are optional. The next time you edit roles you'll see the new role in the drop-down.
Enterprise Edition User Definitions
If you are using Enterprise Edition, there are two tiers of users defined in the terms of service. The precise definitions, refer to the Explore Analytics Terms and Conditions

Full Users are defined in the product as users with any of the above roles. In particular, users with the explorer role are full users.
Limited User
