Users in Axon
You can view and search for Axon objects without logging in. After logging in, you can perform tasks on objects based on the user profile that the administrator has associated with your account.
Users in Axon Data Governance can search for objects, create and modify objects, and view maps that depict the governance status of objects as the objects move from one system to another in the organization. Admin and SuperAdmin users can configure the application and perform administrative tasks.
Users in Axon Data Marketplace can publish data assets so that other users in the organization can find and use the data.
User Profiles in Axon Data Governance
Every Axon Data Governance user has a user profile. The type of profile decides the tasks that a user can perform in Axon. An administrator associates user profiles to user accounts.
Users can have one of the following user profiles associated with their account:
- WebUser
- A WebUser is the most basic user profile in Axon. WebUsers have permission to view content.
- An administrator can provide advanced permissions to a WebUser on a facet by assigning a role. SuperAdmin users can adjust the permissions applicable to a role. Any user with the Edit privileges for an object can assign roles to WebUsers. The WebUser then becomes a stakeholder for the facet and can perform other tasks to create or manage content for the facet. Stakeholder roles can provide New permissions for a facet and Edit permissions for individual objects. For example, a WebUser with the relevant role and permission can bulk upload data to Axon. A WebUser with the New permission on a Glossary facet can create Glossary objects.
