No, not possible. And I don’t understand why you want that. I know it is April 1st but… Surely you trust your own moderators to view logs and the actual user list they are meant to be moderating.
It seems that you have edited manually the content in the About page. You might have deleted the generated stats. Not 100% sure though, as I don’t remember exactly if you have the ability to delete them. @ondrejj can you confirm?
I found an use case that might be interesting for this, maybe not a moderator but an user with access to the great analytics that Discourse already generates.
Imagine a forum that uses some kind of marketing campaigns, yes Analytics is good, maybe Matomo or any other, but having the analytics built in give a more precise metric and there’s no need to run another tool for the same result.
So, having some kind of role that is able to access the admin dashboard and the metrics would be great to communities that use marketing or run campaigns to promote theirself.
For what it’s worth, we’d also greatly appreciate this capability. We’ve wanted to give direct access to admin reports to non-moderators for grant-writing and/or marketing purposes. By and large, they just want stats like signups, posts, likes, page_view_total_reqs and topics from /admin/reports/X.
The ability to hand off an API key with just this report access (and no other admin capabilities) would be awesome. We’d probably want the handful of reports that expose private info turned off (like user_notes, user_flagging_ratio, and staff_logins), but all other admin reports are entirely summary stats and don’t require admin-level (or even moderator-level) trust to view IMO.
The data explorer requires a significantly higher threshold of trust as you can use it to see all private user data the system contains, including emails, private messages, mod actions, and more.
Edit: oh, I see, you can just whitelist individual queries, not rights to the entire UI.
Ah, cool! Is there a playground where our users can play around and build queries? The Data Explorer UI is really helpful in navigating the table structure.
Is it possible to get a shared Data Explorer query export programmatically? Doing the naive thing — accessing https://discourse.example.com/g/group/reports/123.json — doesn’t work like it does for the official reports page. Instead of actually doing the query it just returns the raw SQL itself.
I do think the Data Explorer plugin can do exactly what you want here, but it unfortunately requires some SQL know-how to set up the queries. Once you have the queries you want you can make them available to any group of users as you prefer.
Thanks. If it can, then I think it will be easier for discourse to implement the feature for those of us that can’t really make use of the data explorer option. Just my two cents…
Ich bin überrascht, dass es nicht mehr Interesse daran gibt. Ich verstehe, dass viele bei Statistiken vorsichtig sind, aber ich würde gerne unseren Moderatoren Zugriff auf die Statistikseite gewähren.
Wir haben jetzt auch die SQL-Abfragen für viele der Dashboard-Berichte hier auf Meta (dashboard-sql), sodass Sie diese einfach im Daten-Explorer replizieren und einer bestimmten Gruppe Zugriff gewähren können, ohne ihnen den vollen Moderatorstatus zu verleihen.
Die Verwendung dieser Funktion in Kombination mit der Kategorie-Moderationsfunktion würde es Ihnen ermöglichen, bestimmten Benutzern einige Moderationsfähigkeiten und Zugriff auf Statistiken zu gewähren, ohne ihnen Zugriff auf die anderen Moderatorbereiche zu geben.
