Manage Profiles

As a Mart Administrator, you can assign a user to a profile to control the actions that the user can perform on an object. You can assign a user to multiple profiles and give the user a greater control over objects. Assign at least one profile to each user. However, you do not need to assign all users to a profile immediately after creating the Mart. When you install Mart, Admin, Architect, Modeler, and Viewer profiles are created.

To add users, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Application Menu > Profiles.
    The Profiles page appears.

  2. Click Add Profile.
    The Add Profile page appears.

  3. Select or enter values to the following fields:

    Field

    Description

    Name

    Specifies the name of the profile

    Description

    Specifies the description and purpose of the profile

    Clone From Existing Profiles

    If replicating an existing profile, specifies the source profile
    Permissions

    Specifies the permissions that the profile has on each Mart Portal module.

    If you have cloned an existing profile, on top of default permissions, you can edit the permissions according to your preferences.

    Note: Any dependent permissions for the selected permissions are selected too. For example, if you select the Create Entity permission, then Model Modify, ER Diagram Modify, ER Diagram Modify under Subject Area, and Key Group Create permissions are also selected.

  4. Click .
