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 Syniti Knowledge Platform. Admin permission at the Platform level is required to add users to Syniti Knowledge Platform.
  • Process Designer — This feature is not used.
  • 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 Syniti Knowledge Platform, all users must have User permission for all Syniti Knowledge Platform 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, Syniti grants the user Approver access.
