Permissions

At a basic level, insights available to you depend on your DoiT Cloud Intelligence plan. Automated insights may also need additional permissions or are subject to your plans with your cloud providers.

Cloud Intelligence plan​

  • Access to custom insights requires an Essentials, Enhanced, or Enterprise DoiT Cloud Intelligence plan.

  • Access to automated insights requires an Enhanced or Enterprise DoiT Cloud Intelligence plan.
