Configuring Access Rights

You can configure user access rights and assign assets to users. Assets here refer to the environments in Metadata Manager, projects in Mapping Manager, and catalogs in Business Glossary Manager.

To configure access rights, follow these steps:

  1. On the Users tab, click a user.
  2. By default, the User Details tab opens.

  3. Click the Access Rights tab.
  4. By default, the Metadata pane appears. It displays the environment assigned to the role.

  5. Click the required pane and switch to All Assets.
  6. For example, if you switch to All Assets in the Metadata pane, all the environments appear.

  7. Select the required assets.
  8. Click Save.
  9. The selected assets are assigned to the user.

After, assigning assets to roles, you can view a summary of user assignments with the help of infographics.

Viewing Infographics

The Access Rights tab displays metrics that help you analyze and track user assignments. It presents this information using statistical boards, charts, or graphs.

The following statistical boards display metrics about user assignments:

  • Assigned Assets: It displays the total number of assigned assets. This includes all the environments, projects, and catalogs assigned to the user.
  • Assigned Roles: It displays the number of roles assigned to the user.
  • Metadata Environments: It displays the number of environments in the Metadata Manager assigned to the user.
  • Mapping Projects: It displays the number of projects in the Mapping Manager assigned to the user.

  • Business Policies Catalogs: It displays the number of business policies catalogs in the Business Glossary Manager assigned to the user.

In the Metadata pane, the pie-chart displays the number of assigned and unassigned environments to the user. The blue colored slice corresponds to the assigned environments.

For example, the following pie-chart displays two assigned environments and twenty-one unassigned environments.

Mapping Projects

In the Mapping Projects pane, the pie-chart displays the number of assigned and unassigned projects to the user.

The blue colored slice corresponds to the assigned projects.

The blue colored segment of the bar corresponds to assigned catalogs.
