Grant Permissions for a Visual Data Discovery Data Source

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can grant read, write, or delete data source configuration permissions for your account, groups in your account, or specific users in your account.

To grant permissions for a data source configuration:

1. Log into Symphony as an administrator or a user belonging to a group that includes the Administer Sources or the Manage Source Permissions privilege.

2. Select the Sources option from the Tools menu in the main menu. The Sources page displays.

   

3. Locate the row for the data source configuration in the list and select in its Permissions column. The Source Permissions dialog appears.

   

   Initially, this dialog lists only the creator of the data source.

4. Select Add on the Source Permissions dialog and then select Groups, Users, or Account on the drop-down menu. If you select Groups, the Add Groups dialog appears, listing all the groups available in your account. If you select Users, the Add Users dialog appears, listing all the users available in your account. If you select Account, Read permission is selected for your account on the Source Permissions dialog.

5. Select the account or any specific groups or users you want to permit to read, write, or delete the data source configuration and select Apply. The Source Permissions dialog lists your selections.

   

   You cannot set source permissions for the supplied group Administrators. Members of the Administrators group have data access, read, write, and delete permissions for every data source configuration in the account. The user who creates a data source configuration is automatically selected and has Data Access, Read, Write, and Delete permissions.

6. Select the Data Access, Read, Write, or Delete checkboxes for the account, groups, or users to indicate what users in them can do with the data source. Data Access permission is assumed and is always selected. If you clear (uncheck) the check box (revoke Data Access permission), permission for the entire data source is revoked for the account, group, or user after you save.

7. Select Save. The Save Details dialog appears, listing the changes that you made.

   

8. Review the changes and select OK. The source authorization permissions are set.
