When a value is assigned to an individual user, does it always take precedence over group values?

When a value is assigned to an individual user, it indeed takes precedence over group values. This is because Looker is designed to provide user-specific customizations that override the settings of broader groups. If an individual user has a specific setting or value assigned, it will be used in place of any more general group assignments. This ensures that personalized adjustments can be made on a per-user basis, which can be essential in situations where a user’s needs differ from the overall group’s settings.

This hierarchical structure of user-specific overrides is crucial for tailoring user experiences in data exploration and reporting, allowing for greater flexibility and accuracy in how data is represented and interpreted for individual users.
