Assign Data Access and Catalog Permissions to Roles

You assign data access and catalog permissions to roles on the Administration page.

Note:

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

  • The Users tab is no longer available under the Security Center because users are now managed through Active Directory.

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

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

    You see the roles that you created in Active Directory to which you assigned the XMLP_ roles.

  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.
