Permissions management

Within CONNECT data services, permissions are applied to CONNECT data services roles per resource. The user roles assigned to each user determine whether they can access the resource. You can granularly edit permissions for the following system resources. Open the following pages for instructions on how to edit permissions for each system resource.

• Manage permissions for agents

• Manage permissions for asset rules

• Manage permissions for asset types

• Manage permissions for assets

• Manage permissions for data views

• Manage permissions for namespaces

• Manage permissions for streams

• Manage permissions for types

Manage Permissions window

All system resources are managed using the Manage Permissions window. Use this window to apply permissions to each user role for a system resource. This window displays a matrix of roles, permissions, and permission settings for the resource you are managing. Use the matrix to:

• Add new roles that have permissions on the resource.

• Update individual permission settings.

  

Use this window to complete the following actions:

• Add roles

• Remove roles

• Edit permissions

• Clear permissions

Add roles

Add roles that have permissions for the resource by selecting Add Role > Add .

Remove roles

Remove newly added roles by selecting Remove. Roles that were added previously cannot be removed because they already have permissions assigned that must be cleared first.

Edit permissions

Read, Write, Delete, and Manage Permissions permissions can be edited for each user role that has permissions on the resource. Data stream resources include an additional Share permission to support Communities. Mouse over each Information icon for more information about each permission.

• To allow a permission, select Allow.

  Note: If you set a Write permission to Allow while the Read permission is cleared, Read is automatically set to Allow because write permissions require read permissions.

• To explicitly deny a permission, select Deny.

  Note: When a user is assigned multiple user roles with conflicting permissions, a setting of Deny supersedes a setting of Allow or undefined (-) .

Clear permissions

Clear the permissions applied to a role by selecting Remove.

Notes:

• Allow Manage Permissions access is required on at least one role.

• If you clear all permissions from a role for a resource, the role is not listed the next time that you manage permissions for the resource.

Modified roles

Roles that are highlighted indicate that one of more of its permissions settings have been modified. Newly added roles are highlighted as well. You can restore the original settings by selecting Cancel.
