Access roles determine the data that users can access in Data Discovery searches. You use the Data Discovery portal to search for documents that are archived to the Data Archive. Access roles also restrict which users can view and download files that contain exported search results. Users can only download the exported files if the user is assigned to the same access role as the entity.

To secure source connections, first create an access role and associate it with an entity, then assign the access role to a user. Next, create a security group and assign the users that are allowed to access the
