Thanks for continuously improving and expanding the capabilities and scope of Flexera.

With the addition of many more dimensions, some may or may not be relevant to a company or even to a population of users. Would it be possible to turn on/off the visibility of some dimensions to some users/roles?

Also, How the Manufacturer Name is captured by Optima? How does it differ from the "Cloud Vendor"? Do you have any examples to illustrate how this dimension can/should be used?
