Is it possible to give Company Admins access to Data sources in the Instances they have access to?

Hi,

Our team is currently trying to limit access of our developers in projects that they do not work on. Everyone is currently a Data Estate Admin portal, so they can see every Instance/Data source connection. We tried to test some roles out by having someone only have the role of Company Admin. They now can correctly only see the Instances to which they are assigned to and the Data source connections that are mapped to the Instance. If they click on the Data Source connection, the user gets directed to the Homepage.

We would like the developers to have role in which they can also see/edit the Data sources connections to the Instances they have access to. Is it possible to achieve that with the current TX Portal?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @gdlc_esculine ,

Is it possible to create users using a ‘+’ in their email address? This is what we are using as a partner.

For example, you can create a user with the email address username+admin1@….com and a user with the email address username+admin2@….com.

You can assign these users to the correct instances. The mail server/settings need to allow using a ‘+’ in the email address. In our case, it is possible. When I send an email to myemailaddress+test@2foqus.nl, I receive the email in my personal inbox.

    While the above will give access to the data sources, you can’t limit access to specific data sources in the portal. If you have the Data estate Admin rights you can see all data sources.

    The reason you map specific data sources to the ODX instances is so you can add specific users to the ODX to make it so they only can use these data sources in the desktop program, not to make changes in the portal.

    I think that we need to have more types of roles available in the portal.
