The Analyst interface is a responsive user interface suitable for analyst user roles. You can configure and setup the Analyst interface based on your business needs.

## Enabling the Mobile Analyst portal access for a role

The out-of-the-box user role aligned to the Analyst interface is the Mobile Analyst . However, you can enable any role to use it.

Out-of-the-box, the Analyst interface is assigned to Mobile Analyst and Mobile Asset Manager user roles. These roles are designed in a way that the they can aptly use the Analyst interface.

However, with the 2021.3 release a new check box **Modern Analyst UI** is introduced. Selecting the check box, the Analyst interface can be enabled for that particular Role. This check box is grayed out if the **Overwrite default branding options with the options listed below** check box is not selected.

The Analyst interface currently supports only limited controls hence not all forms/layouts would work with the interface. Currently, the Mobile Analyst and Mobile Asset manager roles are designed to include only the supported controls out-of-the-box. To view the supported controls functions, please refer to the related topics at the end of this topic.

As a try on customer can add newer roles and enable the Analyst interface and configure the supported controls. To enable the interface please follow the below steps:

1. Log in to Neurons for ITSM as an Administrator.
2. Open the Configuration console > **Roles and Permissions** > select a role.
3. Select the **Modern Analyst UI** option.

## Enabling card configuration for Mobile Analyst Business Object
