Talend provides you with an MDM demo project that you can import into Talend Studio. The MDM demo project encompasses the realization of some basic MDM features, which help you get started with Talend MDM and discover how to setup and configure the features of Talend MDM via meaningful samples.

For how to import the MDM demo project into Talend Studio, see Importing a demo project.

Role
  • Demo_Manager
  • Demo_User
The custom role Demo_Manager is granted the write permission to some attribute values while the custom role Demo_User not, for example, the Price attribute value of the Product entity.
View
  • Product
  • Product(AndFamily)
  • Product(Stores)
  • Product(Unavailable)
  • ProductFamily
  • Store

Each view specifies which elements, in one or multiple entities, are viewable or searchable.

They can be attached to a specfic custom role, then the custom role can be assigned to a specific user through Talend MDM Web UI. Thus it controls which view a user has access to and what elements a user can view or search.
