Consumers
By default, all users are consumer users and are part of this user type.
As a consumer user, you have read access to catalog assets for which you have the appropriate access rights. You can contribute to social curation, customize your own UI layout, create your personal worksheets and dashboards and share them with other users and access the related APIs.
For example, data users, analysts or glossary social curators can be part of this user type.
Producers group
Talend Data Catalog provides a Producers system group. To be a producer, you need to be assigned to this user group.
As a producer user, you have read-write access to all features, except the administrative tasks such as the repository, configuration and security management and the application administration. In addition to having the same rights as a consumer user, you can add and edit catalog assets, such as datasets, glossaries, semantic types or custom attributes, for which you have the appropriate access rights.
For example, data architects, data stewards or glossary editors can be part of this group.
Administration groups
- Security Administrators: you manage users, user groups, external authentication and security role assignment on catalog assets.
- Application Administrators: you have all permissions associated with security and data security roles on catalog assets for which you have the appropriate access rights.
- Administrators: you have all permissions associated with the Security Administrators and Application Administrators groups. You also manage the administration system groups.
The table below describes the actions associated with each system group with the default group preferences:
