User and Role Administration Overview
The service administrator and glossary administrator perform user and role administration tasks. The service administrator creates Business Glossary users and groups in the Administrator tool. A glossary administrator manages the privileges, roles, and permissions of the users and groups within the Analyst tool.
Users can perform tasks based on the roles, privileges, and permissions that you assign to them. Privileges and roles that you assign to a user determine the actions that the user can perform. Privileges and roles 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 hide Glossary assets and to provide read and write access to glossaries, business terms, policies, and categories.
After a service administrator creates Business Glossary users and groups in the Administrator tool, the glossary administrator can manage them in the Glossary Security workspace. From the Manage menu, select Glossary Security.
