You can map user roles in the MDM Hub with predefined and custom user roles in MDM SaaS. You can map these user roles in a user role mapping file. The user role mapping file is a properties file that you can create manually to map user roles.
For example, you can map the DataSteward user role in the MDM Hub to a predefined user role in MDM SaaS, such as Customer 360 Data Steward, or to any other custom user roles in MDM SaaS. For more information about modernizing user roles, see User accounts and user roles.
Create a user role mapping file
A user role mapping file is a .properties file. Before you create a user role mapping file, ensure that you have the list of all the user roles in MDM SaaS and the MDM Hub. To get a list of user roles in the MDM Hub, refer to the change list XML and user account details files. To view the list of user roles in MDM SaaS, you can use Administrator.
1Open a text editor, such as Notepad.
2Add the user roles in the following format:
<MDM Hub user role> = <MDM SaaS user role>
The following example maps the DataSteward user role in the MDM Hub with the Customer 360 Data Steward user role in MDM SaaS:
DataSteward = Customer 360 Data Steward
Note: Ensure that the user roles don't contain any of the following special characters:
~!/'={}|:@#$^&*()-_+,<>?`
3Save the file with the .properties file extension.
