Permissions

Permissions determine the Glossary assets that a user can access and the level of access to the asset. You can assign permissions to users for a business term, business initiative, category, policy, or the entire glossary. Permissions that you assign to a user for a glossary extend to business terms, business initiative, categories, and policies in the glossary.

Users require the write permission to perform actions based on the privileges that you assign. Users require the read permission to view Glossary assets in the

Library

workspace. Use the Deny permission to hide Glossary assets from a user or disallow the user from performing Glossary asset management tasks. Use the Allow permission to permit a user to view Glossary assets or perform Glossary asset management tasks.

When you select a default role while assigning privileges to a user or a group, the Analyst tool assigns permissions accordingly. When you assign the stakeholder role, the Analyst tool assigns the read permission to the user or group. When you assign the data steward or glossary administrator role, the Analyst tool assigns the read and write permissions to the user or group.

Users and groups can have the following types of permissions:

Direct permissions: Permissions that you assign directly to a user or group, or which the Analyst tool assigns based on the default role.
Inherited permissions: Permissions that users who are part of a group inherit based on the group membership. You cannot revoke inherited permissions directly from the user. Permissions that you assign directly to a user takes precedence over inherited permissions when there is a conflict. If you have directly assigned a user a permission and you want the user to inherit permission instead, choose the inherit option when you edit permissions.; For example, if you assign the sales group the permission to view the sales glossary, all the users who are part of the sales group can view the sales glossary. If a user does not have permission to view the sales glossary due to a direct permission, and you add the user to the sales group, the direct permission of the user takes precedence. To ensure that the user always inherits permissions and to enable the user to view the sales glossary, edit the permission of the user and choose the inherit option.

Effective permissions: Superset of all permissions for a user or group. Includes direct permissions and inherited permissions.
