A custom role is a role that you create based on the needs of your organization. For example, you might want to create a custom administrative role that can configure roles, user groups, and access control, but can't create, edit, or run data integration tasks.
To create custom roles, your organization must have the appropriate license. You can edit, rename, and delete custom roles after you create them.
You might want to edit custom roles when your organization gets a new license. Edit the roles to grant access to new asset types and features. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services doesn't grant additional privileges to custom roles when your organization gets a new license.
Note: Custom roles can't be assigned privileges to create, update, or delete roles. If you need to modify roles, log in to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services as a user with the system-defined Admin role.
Creating a custom role
Create a custom role on the User Roles page. When you create a role, you must configure the privileges that are associated with the role. You configure privileges separately for each service.
To create a custom role, you can create a new role or clone an existing role. A new role has no privileges until you configure them. A cloned role has the same privileges as the role that you clone, but you can change the privileges.
1In Administrator, select User Roles.
2Perform either of the following actions:
- To create a new role, click Add Role.
- To clone an existing role, in the row that contains the role that you want to clone, click Actions and select Clone. You can clone any role except for the Admin role.
3Enter a role name and optional description.
4In the Services field, select the service for which you want to configure privileges.
For example, to configure privileges for Data Integration, select Data Integration. To configure administrative privileges, select Administrator.
5To configure the asset privileges, select Assets, and enable or disable the appropriate privileges for each asset type.
For example, to enable users with the role to create folders, enable Create next to Folder.
6To configure the feature privileges, select Features, and enable or disable the appropriate privileges.
For example, to prevent users with the role from importing assets, disable Asset - import.
After you create a role, you can assign it to a user or user group. To assign the role to a user or group, edit the user or group.
Renaming a role
Rename a role on the User Roles page. You can rename a custom role. You can't rename a system-defined role.
1In Administrator, select User Roles.
2In the row that contains the role that you want to rename, click Actions and select Rename.
3Enter a new name for the role.
4Click Save.
Deleting a role
Delete a role on the User Roles page. You can't delete a custom role if it is assigned to any user or user group. You can't delete a system-defined role.
1In Administrator, select User Roles.
2In the row that contains the role that you want to delete, click Actions and select Delete.
