Setting Dataset Privileges

Dataset privileges are separate components of the RBAC system. Depending on the parameters of the business case, they may be specified identically (and at the same time) for a number of datasets, or set separately for each dataset.

  1. Add another privilege, by clicking the Add Privilege button.

  2. In the Add Privilege modal window, from Component Type, select Dataset.

  3. From Connection(s), select either All connections or one of the individual connections.

    We selected access to the samples connection only.

  4. Choose the datasets for role privileges:

    • From Datasets(s), select either All datasets or one of the individual connections.
    • [Optional] To select additional datasets, repeat the previous step.
    • To remove previously added datasets, clicking the icon (x) icon next to the name of the dataset.
    • Click Create.

    We selected access to the Cereals, Iris, and World Life Expectancy datasets.

  5. The dataset privilege for the Iris, Cereals, and World Life Expectancy datasets appears on the list of privileges for the role.

    By default, it contains all possible privileges for a dataset component:

    • Manage dataset
    • Manage visuals and dashboards
    • View visuals and dashboards

    Note the following:

    1. The type is specified by the (dataset) icon.

    2. Two of the permissions, Manage visuals and dashboards and View visuals and dashboards are mandatory if the other permissions exist, and cannot be removed. The checkboxes in these columns are filled in and fixed.

      However, if you uncheck Manage dataset, then the Manage visuals and apps becomes mutable, and can be unselected.

      Similarly, if you uncheck Manage visuals and dashboards, View visuals and dashboards becomes mutable, and can be unselected.

    3. This privilege may be deleted by clicking the (trash/delete) icon.
