# New Use-case Supported:
Admins can allow Analyst role to explore and create reports from any datasets without granting them the access to Data Modeling Layer. 
# How to do:

- **Step 2** : Share with them the datasets you allow them to explore and create reports from:  

# What's changed in Analyst's Permission:
In brief, the Analyst's Permission will be changed as follows: 
### Before:

- If Admins **share Data source access** to Analysts, they will be:
  - Able to **access and edit** all child items as usual
  - Unable to edit the data source

- If Admins only **share Dataset access** to Analysts, they will be:
  - Able to **access and explore** reports from that dataset.
  - Unable to edit anything & create reports from that dataset

### After:

- If Admins **share Data source access** to Analysts, they will be:
  - Able to **access and edit** all child items as usual
  - Unable to edit the data source

- If Admins only **share Dataset access** to Analysts, they will be:
  - 🆕 Able to **access, explore, and create/edit** reports from that dataset.
  - 🆕 Unable to edit the dataset and access higher-level items (data model, data source)
