Permissions

Permission can be granted to these components:

  • Data Catalog — Controls access to Systems and Data Sets.
  • Glossary — Controls access to terms.
  • Strategy — Controls access to Visions, Missions, Goals and Initiatives.
  • Platform — Controls access to IGC™. Admin permission at the Platform level is required to add users to IGC™.
  • Process Designer — Controls access to the Process Designer.
  • Policy — Controls access to policies.

You can grant a combination of the following permissions to a user depending on the access required.

  • ADMIN - Can add and edit user accounts and set user permissions to Platform components.
  • APPROVER - Can be set as an Owner for elements and can approve elements in order to publish them.
  • AUTHOR - Can create child elements - Processes, Scenarios, Roles, Tasks, and assets such as Terms, Rules, etc.
  • USER - Read-only access. This type of user can add comments, share a URL and view change history for an asset, but cannot sponsor an asset or otherwise edit it.

NOTE: If a user has User permission for a component, that component does not display in the Quick Add list because the user cannot add the asset. Additionally, guidance related to adding or editing assets does not display for a user with User permission.

NOTE: To access the IGC™, all users must have User permission for all IGC™ components, and this permission cannot be removed. It is granted by default to all users.

NOTE: If multiple permissions are assigned to a user, the level with the broadest permission is used. For example, if a user is assigned as both a User and an Approver, IGC™ grants the user Approver access.
