Create a Profile

Profiles determine who can change the data or models in Mart. As a System Administrator, you can create profiles and can attach them to users for a catalog. When a user creates, modifies, or deletes an object in Mart, the profile determines if the operation is permitted. Each profile grants permissions at the following object levels, in the same hierarchical order:

• Catalog Management
• Library
• Mart
• Model
  • Locking
  • Modeling Object
    • Data Movement Rule
    • Data Source Object
    • Default value
    • Domain
    • ER Diagram
    • Entity
    • Relationship
    • Subject Area
    • Theme
    • Validation Rule
    • View
  • User-Defined Property
  • Version
• Permission Management
• Reports
• Session Management
• User Management

Note: Admin, Architect, Modeler, and Viewer profiles are created when you install Mart.
