Incorporate new "Access Authoring View" event into added in 2021.1 #59

Closed mcoles closed 2 years ago

2021.1 added a new event type in historical_events, "Access Authoring View". This represents when a user enters Web Edit mode for an existing view, or against a published data source and also then saves their visualization as a view in a new workbook. Authoring a new workbook against a published data source, and then abandoning it, does not generate this event type.

Now that this event is tracked, it will be incorporated into TS Users activity aggregates, and as an "Access" event in TS Content. This should be implemented in a backward-compatible way to prior versions, which relied on the http_requests table, which by default contains only a week's worth of data as opposed to the half-year worth of data that historical_events contains.

This is great in helping us one step closer to full visibility in all Explorer actions (versus viewer). We are struggling to find a way to find Explorers who aren't using Explorer functionality such that we can demote to them to viewers.
