Role Access Permissions

For the FMC module, access permissions to profiles and flow sources can be defined as well as write permissions for all settings in the FMC. The permission configuration is done in the Configuration Center > User Settings / Roles (see below). More information can be found in the chapter User and Roles Settings.

The access permissions are configured for roles. If the option Full access is checked, then the user with this role has full access to all profiles in the FMC (including all channels in the All Sources profile) and can modify all settings. If the Full access role is not checked, the option Write permission can be selected. This option allows users to modify settings in the FMC and edit available profiles.

If the role does not have Full access permissions, it is necessary to assign root profiles to it. The root profile is any profile which is a direct child profile (subprofile) of the All Sources profile, is not a shadow profile, and is of type Continuous (that is, it is a Real continuous profile). Refer to the Profiles section for further details. Users with this role will gain access to the data of assigned root profiles and the whole subtree of their subprofiles. But this user cannot modify the root profile settings. Root profiles are entities delimiting data that the user can access. If this user creates a new subprofile of a root profile, this subprofile can be automatically accessed by all users with access to this root profile including permissions to modify it (if their role has write permissions assigned - see below).

The role can be assigned with access permissions to any flow sources (see chapter Sources). These sources will be shown on the Sources page, in the All Sources profile and if they are of type profiled source, then they will be included in profile group Sources. These sources can be used for the definition of profile channel or report chapter.

The FMC permissions are aggregated in case more roles are assigned for one user.
