Managing role privileges

The Role Detail interface shows a table matrix of privilege components and the specific permissions granted to the role for that component. Each row shows one privilege, with following detail:

• Column 1: Set of components; such as specific connection name(s), or specific dataset name(s).
• Column 2: Type of privilege component, indicated by an icon, such as
  • System
  • Role
  • Connection
  • Dataset
• Column 3: Whole or partial; if granting all privileges for the specified component type, a check mark appears.

• Columns 4 through 19: Permissions enabled on the specified components, which include:

  • System Privileges: Create workspaces, Manage roles and users, Manage site settings, Manage custom styles, Manage jobs and email templates, View activity logs, and Manage data connections
  • Role Privilages: Grant manage dataset, Grant manage dashboard, and Grant view dashboard.
  • Connection Privileges: Manage analytical views, Import data, and Create datasets, explore tables.
  • Dataset Privileges: Manage dataset, Manage dashboards, and View dashboards.
• Column 20: Available actions on components, such as Edit and Delete.
