Hi Daniel,

your assumptions are correct. We remove authorities from time to time.
Ideally we should have had a startup script which removes these from
existing user roles. The short-term fix for you is to just remove them from
the data analyst role. They can safely be removed as they currently have no
effect on the system.

To go into details, data mart module does no longer exist, and viewing
reports have been made open (as long as you have the view reports module
auth).

Lars
