If you have multiple instances, you must find the data mart ID to specify the instance that you want to assign users access to. You can use one of the following methods to find the data mart ID:
- On the Insights dashboard, click a model deployment tile and go to Actions > View model information to find the data mart ID.
- On the Insights dashboard, click the navigation menu on a model deployment tile and select Configure monitors. Then, go to the Endpoints tab and find the data mart ID in the Integration details section of the Model information tab.
Select the Reader role in the Service access list.
