Key considerations
- Institutional Authentication is required to use Data Q&A. If you don’t have this authentication in your Illuminate instance, you can request it through a support ticket at no additional cost.
- To turn on Data Q&A, go to Settings, then Global Settings, and select Opt-in to generative AI capabilities.
- For now, Data Q&A is available to users with access to all institutional data.
- By default, Administrators and Developers have this permission and can use Data Q&A.
- You can grant Data Q&A access to Authors and Viewers users by editing the user in the settings menu and adding the “All reports - Data unrestricted” or “Data unrestricted” permission in the Reports permissions section.
