User Management Process

As a glossary administrator, manage users based on the tasks that users need to perform.
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. Manage roles, privileges, and permissions for each glossary based the tasks that a user performs in a glossary.
The following process describes how to manage a user or group:
  1. 1. Verify that the user account or group exists in Informatica Administrator.
  2. 2. Identify the glossaries that the user has access to.
  3. 3. Configure user or group permissions for the Glossary asset. Assign permissions based on the level of access that you want to provide.
  4. 4. Identify a default role for the user based on the tasks that you want the user to perform.
  5. 5. Assign the default role to the user or group.
  6. 6. Optionally, create a custom role with privileges and assign the role to the user or group.
  7. 7. Optionally, assign privileges directly to the user or group.
