User Management Process
As a glossary administrator, manage users based on the tasks that users need to perform. You can only administer the glossary for which the service administrator has assigned you the glossary administrator role. You cannot modify the permissions and privileges of a user for any glossary.
A user can access one or more glossaries. A user can have unique privileges, roles, and permissions for different glossaries. For example, Joe can be a data steward for the human resources glossary. Joe can also be a glossary consumer for the sales glossary. However, Joe cannot modify the permissions and privileges set up by other glossary administrators.
Manage roles, privileges, and permissions for each glossary based the tasks that the user performs in that glossary.
The following process describes how to manage a user or group:
- 1. Verify that the Informatica administrator has created the user account or group in the Administrator tool.
- 2. Configure user or group permissions for the glossary or the Glossary asset. Assign permissions based on the level of access that you want to provide.
- 3. Identify a default role for the user based on the tasks that you want the user to perform.
- 4. Assign the default role to the user or group.
- 5. Optionally, create a custom role with privileges and assign the role to the user or group.
- 6. Optionally, assign specific privileges directly to the user or group.
