Verify permissions

To extract metadata and to configure other capabilities that a catalog source might include, you need account access and permissions on the source system. The permissions required might vary depending on the capability.

Permissions to extract metadata

Ensure that you have the required permissions to enable metadata extraction.
To use the infacmd command line utility to access the model repository projects and folders, verify that you have read permissions on the assets.
