Managing configuration permissions for catalog sources
As a service administrator, you can grant configuration permissions for catalog sources to different roles in your organization, and add specific users and user groups to those roles so that they can perform operational activities on a catalog source.
To manage permissions for catalog source configuration, verify that at least one role has the catalog source configuration Set Permissions functionality enabled for Metadata Command Center in Administrator. In Administrator, create the required roles, assign users and user groups to the roles, and specify appropriate permissions to the roles.
You can select roles and add specific users or user groups to those roles to grant the following levels of permission for catalog source configuration:
•Create
•Read
•Update
•Run
•Set Permissions
Based on the permissions granted to the roles, the selected users and user groups belonging to that role can perform appropriate operations for configuring catalog sources.
