Setting dataset privileges

Dataset privileges are separate components of the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system in Data Visualization. Depending on the parameters of the business case, they may be specified identically (and at the same time) for a number of datasets, or set separately for each dataset.

The following steps demonstrate how to add dataset-level privileges to a role. In this example, Test Role 1 is used.

  1. Add another privilege by clicking the ADD PRIVILEGE button.
  2. In the Add Privilege modal window, from Component Type, select Dataset.
  3. From Connection(s), select either All connections or one of the individual connections.

    In this example, access to the samples connection is selected.

  4. From Datasets(s), select either All datasets or one of the individual connections.
    To select additional datasets, repeat this step.

    In this example, access to the Cereals, Iris, and World Life Expectancy datasets is selected. Notice that the datasets include the dataset ID.

    The dataset privilege for the Iris, Cereals, and World Life Expectancy datasets appears on the list of privileges for the role.

    By default, it contains all possible privileges for a dataset component:
    • Manage dataset
    • Manage dashboards
    • View dashboards

    Note the following:

    1. The Dataset icon specifies the type.
    2. Two of the permissions, Manage dashboards and View dashboards are mandatory if the privilege contains the manage dataset permission, and cannot be removed. The checkboxes in these columns are filled in and fixed.
      • If you unselect Manage dataset, then the Manage dashboards becomes mutable, and can be unselected.
      • If you uncheck Manage dashboards, View dashboards becomes mutable, and can be unselected.
    3. You can delete this privilege by clicking the Delete icon.
  5. Click SAVE at the top of the interface to save the changes to the role.

The role definition for Test Role 1 is now complete. Note that it has 6 distinct components.
