Permissions control the objects and the data that you can access. For example, permissions can determine that you can access a particular topic, but cannot access another topic. Entities with no assigned permissions are accessible by all

Data Integration Hub

users.

The

Data Integration Hub

administrator creates categories and assigns categories to user groups to determine the users that can view or change the objects. You assign categories to topics and to applications to permit users to view or change the applications and the topics. Because publications and subscriptions are associated with applications and with topics, they inherit the permissions from both the parent application and from the associated topic. When you configure permissions for an application, only user groups with permissions to the application can access the associated subscriptions and publications. When you configure permissions for a topic, only user groups with permissions to the topic can access the associated subscriptions and publications. User permissions to publications and to subscriptions are determined either by the associated topic or by the associated application, whichever is the most restrictive.

Permissions also restrict access to monitors and to events that are related to the publications and the subscriptions.

Privileges control the actions that you can perform on objects. For example, privileges can determine that you can view and edit publications, but cannot create or delete publications.
