Before you can use CDI-PC for modernization, the organization administrator must create the roles that are used for modernization, assign the right permissions and privileges to the roles, and then assign relevant users to the role.
Roles define the activities and tasks that users are allowed to do. When the organization administrator creates roles and sets the correct permissions and privileges, the roles define the boundaries within which the users can act. After the roles are defined, the organization administrator can assign specific users and user groups to the role.
For more information about creating roles and assigning users, see the Cloud Platform help.
Asset permissions
The organization administrator can configure permission for assets that user roles can access in CDI-PC for modernization. Depending on the user roles and permissions, you can view or modify assets.
To configure asset permissions for user roles, go to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Administrator, open a role, select Workbench Service, and select one or more permissions on the Assets tab for the role.
Additionally, in the same role, select Domain Management Service, and assign at least read permission for the Domain Registration asset type. This permission is required to access the CDI-PC service.
For more information about assigning asset permissions to user roles, see the Cloud Platform help.
Asset permissions for conversion task
To create or run conversion tasks, you need additional asset permissions from different IDMC services.
To configure asset permissions for user roles, go to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Administrator, open a role, select the required service, and select one or more permissions on the Assets tab for the role.
