Assign Data Access and Catalog Permissions to Roles

Assign data access and catalog permissions to roles in the Administration page.

To assign data access and catalog permissions to roles:

  1. Log in to Publisher as a user assigned the XMLP_ADMIN role in the LDAP provider.
  2. On the Administration page, click Roles and Permissions.

    You see the roles that you created in the LDAP provider to which you assigned the XMLP_ roles. Note the following:

    • The XMLP_X roles are not shown because these are controlled through the LDAP interface.

    • The Users tab is no longer available under the Security Center because users are now managed through your LDAP interface.

    • Roles are not updatable in the Publisher interface, except for adding data sources.

  3. Click Add Data Sources to add Publisher data sources to the role. A role must be assigned access to a data source to run reports from that data source or to build data models from the data source. For more information see Grant Data Access.
  4. Grant catalog permissions to roles. See About Catalog Permissions and Grant Catalog Permissions for details on granting catalog permissions to roles.

Users can now log in using their LDAP username/password.
