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.

  2. Click the Access Rights tab.

    3. By default, the Metadata pane appears. It displays the environment assigned to the role.

  3. Click the required pane and switch to All Assets.

    4. For example, if you switch to All Assets in the Metadata pane, all the environments appear.

  4. Select the required assets.
  5. Click Save.

    6. 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.

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.

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.
