Roles
A role is a collection of privileges that you can assign to users and groups.
A role includes privileges for the Mass Ingestion Service and the Mass Ingestion tool. You assign roles to users or groups for the Mass Ingestion Service. If a user or group is assigned a role for the Mass Ingestion Service, the user or group can perform additional tasks defined by the role in the Mass Ingestion tool.
For example, you can create an Administrator role that includes privileges for the Mass Ingestion Service. You can assign the Administrator role to a user for the Development Mass Ingestion Service. The user can perform tasks defined by the Administrator role in the Mass Ingestion Service and the Mass Ingestion tool. You can revoke the role from the user for the Production Mass Ingestion Service and assign the Administrator role to a different user.
You can assign only the Administrator role to a user or group for the Mass Ingestion Service. You cannot assign custom roles. You cannot assign privileges and permissions.
Administrator Role
When you assign the Administrator role to a user or group for the Mass Ingestion Service, the user or group can complete tasks that are determined by the Administrator role, not by privileges or permissions.
You can assign a user or group all privileges for the domain and then grant the user or group full permissions on all domain or repository objects. However, this user or group cannot complete the tasks determined by the Administrator role.
For example, a user assigned the Administrator role for the Mass Ingestion Service can configure Mass Ingestion Service properties in the Administrator tool. A user assigned all domain privileges and permissions cannot configure Mass Ingestion Service properties.
The user assigned the Administrator role for the Mass Ingestion Service can perform the following tasks:
- •Browse all mass ingestion specifications.
- •Edit a mass ingestion specification.
- •Run a mass ingestion specification.
- •Delete a mass ingestion specification.
A user who is not assigned the Administrator role can perform the same tasks as the user who is assigned the Administrator role, but the user can browse, edit, run, and delete only the mass ingestion specifications that the user creates.
Note: You can assign only the Administrator role to a user or group. You cannot assign privileges and permissions for the Mass Ingestion Service.
