Partner access that removes access to see fully loaded costs and work out the enterprise discount

Within my client they work extensively with external entities [TCS, CTS, WIPRO etc] to manage their infrastructure. They do not want to allow these partners to see the full costs in cloudability that are shown in the dashboarding and insights panels.

We need the ability to limit access for a sub set of users in cloudability to just the rightisizing and rightsizing ROI panels, currently by default a user has access to the dashboarding and insights panels in cloudability.

Can you create a role that is designed for partners so we can limit access in a more fine grained manner?

This feels like a quick fix, it is a major issue currently in the client and limiting our rollout.

Please can you remove the default ability for all users to see the dashboarding and insights panels? and create a role that is aimed at enabling the use case above.

We will further reduce the partners data access using views. the ask is to limit functionality to explore costs , we just need the partners to identify opportunities, create a ticket that appears in the rightsizing ROI panel. we then track savings in the ROI panel and report these savings.
