Roles
A role determines a user's privileges and defines the general tasks that a user can perform. An organization administrator must assign at least one role to each user.
Roles determine the functionality and Informatica Cloud menus that are available to a user. For example, to access and perform any tasks on the Administer menu, you need the Admin role.
You can use the following roles in Informatica Cloud:
- •Admin
- •Designer
- •Service consumer
In addition to roles, user groups and object-level permissions can determine the ability of a user to view and perform tasks on an object.
The following table describes the privileges for each role:
Privilege | Admin Role | Designer Role | Service Consumer |
|---|
Access to all available functionality on the Overview menu. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Access to all available functionality on the Monitor menu. | Yes | Yes | No |
Access to all available functionality on the Task Wizards menu. | Yes | Yes | Partial. Can view tasks, run tasks, and download workflow XML. For data replication tasks, can create and reset targets. |
Access to all available functionality on the Design menu. | Yes | Partial. Can access all menu items except Services and Processes. | Partial. Can run task flows and test run a mapping. |
Access to all available functionality on the Configure menu. | Yes | Yes | No |
Access to all available functionality on the Administer menu. | Yes | No | No |
Admin Role
The Admin role has access to all Informatica Cloud functionality and can perform any task in the organization.
The best practice is to assign the Admin role to one or two trusted users and assign the users to an administrative user group that allows access to all objects and permissions. These users can act as alternative organization administrators and can help troubleshoot access control and other issues that might occur as you increase organization security.
Designer Role
The Designer role has limited access to Informatica Cloud functionality.
The Designer role has access to all available functionality on the Overview, Monitor, Task Wizards, Design, and Configure menus, with the exception of the Service & Process Console. The Designer role can configure and test tasks, configure all related objects, and monitor jobs. The Designer role does not have access rights to the Administer menu.
Service Consumer Role
The Service Consumer role has limited access to Informatica Cloud functionality. The Service Consumer role can view and run tasks and download workflow XML.
The Service Consumer role has the following privileges:
- •Access to all available functionality on the Overview menu.
- •From the Task Wizards menu, ability to view tasks, run tasks, download workflow XML, and create and reset targets for Data Replication tasks.
- •From the Design menu, ability to run task flows and test run mappings.
