Permissions

A permission is an assignment of rights for a user to a resource. It is a triple consisting of

  • User
  • Resource
  • Right or Role

Examples could look like this:

User Resource Right / Role
Thorsten Reimers Config DB admin (Role)
Thilo Reimers Prod EDITOR_TRANSFORMATION_DB_READ (Right)

The user Thorsten Reimers was assigned the administrator role for the resource "Config DB" (Configuration Repository). This allows him to manage transformation environments, users, roles, and permissions.

The user Thilo Reimers can connect to the transformation environment "Prod" with read rights.

Assigning Rights

The granting of individual rights for a user is done in the "Settings" - "User, Roles & Rights" dialog in the upper part on the far right:

There, a user and then a resource such as Config DB or one of the transformation environments is selected. After that, individual rights (">" or "<") or all rights (">>" or "<<") can be granted or revoked for this user for this resource under "Single Rights".

Assigning Roles

The assignment of roles to a user is done in the same dialog in the middle of the upper part. Again, a user and a resource ("Database") must be selected, after which individual roles (">" or "<") or all roles (">>" or "<<") can be assigned or removed under "Roles":
