Based on the knowledge sources provided, it is not possible to give a user access to only one single board on Mixpanel without granting them access to the entire project. Mixpanel's permission system operates at the project level, not at the individual board level.The closest option to restrict access is to use the "Consumer" role, which is the most limited project role. According to the Roles & Permissions documentation, Project Consumers can: - View and save their own reports and Boards - Add saved reports to their own Boards - Duplicate another user's Board and view it as a private Board - Edit reports and Boards on which they have been added as an editorHowever, even with the Consumer role, users still have access to view and create reports within the project, not just a single board.For more granular control over data access, Mixpanel offers features like Data Views and Data Classification for Enterprise plan users. These features allow you to filter what data specific users or teams can access within a project, but they don't restrict access to a single board.If you need to share specific insights with users who shouldn't have access to the entire Mixpanel project, you might consider exporting the relevant data or using Mixpanel's sharing features to send specific reports or insights outside of the Mixpanel platform.

Yes, that's correct. To add a user to a Data View in Mixpanel, they must first be a part of your project. This is because Data Views are a feature that operates within the context of a Mixpanel project.According to the Data Views & Classification documentation: "Click + Add User to add individual project members to your Data View. The modal shows only users that are part of your project."This clearly indicates that users must be project members before they can be added to a Data View.Additionally, the Roles & Permissions documentation states: "Users are required to be part of your Mixpanel Organization (either through self-joining or via an invitation from the admin), before they can be granted access to any Mixpanel Project."So, the process would typically involve: 1. Adding the user to your Mixpanel Organization 2. Inviting the user to your specific Mixpanel Project 3. Adding the user to the desired Data ViewRemember that Data Views are a feature available on the Enterprise plan, allowing you to manage data access for groups of users within a single Mixpanel project for privacy and productivity purposes.

To achieve your goal of providing a user access to only 3 specific events within your project while restricting access to all other events, you can use Mixpanel's Data Views feature. This feature allows you to create a filtered view of your project data that includes only the events you want the user to see. Here's how you can accomplish this: 1. Create a Data View: According to the Data Views & Classification documentation, you can create a Data View that includes only the specific events you want to share.2. Set up event filters: In the Data View settings, you can apply filters to include only the 3 events you want the user to access. The documentation states: "You can apply multiple event, event property, and user profile property filters to a Data View."3. Add the user to the project: You'll need to add the user to your project, but don't worry - their access will be restricted by the Data View.4. Assign the user to the Data View: Once the user is added to the project, you can add them to the specific Data View you created. This will ensure they only see the data within that view.5. Set appropriate project role: Assign the user a "Consumer" role in the project to further limit their abilities within Mixpanel.By following these steps, you can effectively restrict the user's access to only the 3 events you've included in the Data View. They won't be able to see or access any other events in the project.It's important to note that this feature is available on the Enterprise plan, as mentioned in the Data Views & Classification documentation: "Users on an Enterprise plan can access the Data View and Data Classification features."This approach allows you to maintain the security and privacy of your other project data while still providing the user with access to the specific events they need to see.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it's not possible to restrict a user from viewing all boards and reports in a project while only allowing access to specific events through a Data View. The Data View feature controls access to data, but it doesn't limit access to saved content like boards and reports within a project.According to the Data Views & Classification documentation: "The saved content you create in Mixpanel is not contained to the Data View in which it was created. For example, you can view a Report you made in one Data View in any of the other Data Views you have access to. The results of a report or Board will change depending on the Data View you have selected."This means that while the user will only see data from the three events you've given them access to in the Data View, they can still view other boards and reports in the project. However, these boards and reports will only display data from the events they have access to through the Data View.To further restrict access, you could consider the following: 1. Assign the user a "Consumer" role in the project, which provides the most limited access. According to the Roles & Permissions documentation, Consumers can: - View and save their own reports and Boards - Add saved reports to their own Boards - Duplicate another user's Board and view it as a private Board - Edit reports and Boards on which they have been added as an editor2. Be cautious about which boards and reports you share with this user. Only add them as an editor to the specific boards and reports you want them to access.3. Educate other team members about not sharing sensitive boards or reports with this user.Unfortunately, there isn't a way to completely hide all other boards and reports from a user while still giving them project access. If this level of restriction is crucial, you might need to consider alternative solutions, such as exporting specific data or creating a separate, limited project for this user.
