Managing role privileges
Privileges for a role may be defined on one of the following levels:
- Setting system privileges
- Setting connection privileges
- Setting dataset 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.
