How to show "Add Datasource" option in Bold BI server page

If you are unable to see the icon/button to add new data sources on the screen that says “Start building your dashboard by adding your first data source,” it might be because your user account is not part of the admin group (groupId=1). To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Confirm User Account is in Admin Group

1. Check if your user account is added to the admin group by visiting the following URL: http://localhost:50822/bi/site/site1/administration/user-management/groups/view/1
2. If your user account is not listed in the admin group, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Add User Account to Admin Group

1. Log in to your site with an admin user account and navigate to the Groups tab from the user-management page and click on Add icon.
   
   
2. Select the required user account from the drop-down menu, click on the Add button, and then save the changes.
   
   

Step 3: Log in with the Newly Added User Account

1. Log in with the newly added user account.
2. You should now be able to view the button to add a new data source.
   
   

By following these steps, you can ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to add new data sources to your dashboard.
