User and Role Administration Overview
The service administrator and glossary administrator perform user and role administration tasks. The Informatica administrator creates Business Glossary users and groups in the Administrator tool. The service manager assigns one or more glossary administrators to every glossary in the Analyst tool. The glossary administrators manage the privileges, roles, and permissions of the users and groups in the Analyst tool.
Users can perform tasks based on the roles, privileges, and permissions that you assign to them. Roles and privileges that you assign to a user determine the actions that the user can perform. Roles and privileges that you assign to a group determine the actions that all users in the group can perform. Permissions that you assign to a user determine the Glossary assets that the user can access. Use permissions to provide read and write access to glossaries, business terms, policies, and categories. You can use permissions to hide Glossary assets as required.
After an Informatica administrator creates Business Glossary users and groups in the Administrator tool, the service administrator can manage them in the Glossary Security workspace.
