Roles & Permissions

Managing access through roles and rights.

The Data Mesh Manager implements role-based access control (RBAC).

Organization

An organization is a logical unit (tenant) that covers the data mesh of a company. To implement different environments, e.g. development and production, we recommend creating a separate organization for each environment.

The Data Mesh Manager offers the following roles for its users:

• Organization Member
  • can view data products, data contracts, global policies and governance meetings
