Global Roles and Producers vs. Consumers
A concurrent user license can be split in two maximum limits:
- Metadataproducers who are read-write concurrent users such as data architects, data modelers, glossary editors, mapping designers, developers and any advanced users with access to all functionalities.
- Metadataconsumers who are ready-only concurrent users such as data users, analysts, reviewers who can create worksheets/dashboards, add comments/social curation)
With this split license, users are considered to be metadata consumers by default. A user will automatically be designated as a producer, if they have are assigned to any roles with capability assignments that make them a Producer.
If a user is assigned any role of type Producer, then they are counted as a Producer, otherwise if all roles they are assigned are Consumer only, then they are counted as a Consumer.
Similarly, if a role has any capability type Producer, then it is of type Producer, otherwise if all capabilities for that role are Consumer only, then it is of type Consumer.
Consumers are those with global capabilities to only customize collections, worksheets, and dashboards.
