Permissions

Overview

Permissions define what a user can do in the system.

A user can have one or more roles. Each role gives access to specific areas such as workflows, jobs, workers, or data connections.

Roles apply to all organizations assigned to the user. They are not configured separately per organization.

Example:

  • User has the Job Manager role
  • User is assigned to Organization A and Organization B
  • User can manage jobs in Organization A
  • User can manage jobs in Organization B
  • User cannot manage jobs in Organization C unless assigned there too

Access depends on two things:

  • the user's roles
  • the organizations assigned to the user

Roles

Role Intended Use
Manager Full organization management access
Workflow Editor Create and edit workflows and data connections
Job Manager Upload, view, update, cancel, delete, and prioritize jobs
Job Uploader Upload jobs and use data connections needed for uploads
Worker Manager Manage workers and handheld assignments

Permission Matrix

Permission Details

Workflows

Workflow permissions control access to workflow definitions.

View workflow access allows a user to open and inspect workflows.

Create/edit workflow access allows a user to create, update, publish, or modify workflows.

Data Connections

Data connection permissions control access to external systems used by workflows and jobs.

View data connection access allows a user to inspect or select existing data connections.

Create/edit data connection access allows a user to create or change data connection configuration.

Jobs

Job permissions control operational workflow execution.

View job access allows a user to see jobs and workflow executions.

Upload/start job access allows a user to create jobs from uploaded data.

Manage job access allows a user to cancel, delete, update, or prioritize jobs.

Workers

Worker permissions control operational users and handheld assignments.

View worker access allows a user to see workers.

Manage worker access allows a user to create, update, unpair, or delete workers.

Organization Access

Roles apply to all organizations assigned to the user.

If a user has a role, the permissions from that role are available in every organization assigned to that user.

Example:

  • User has the Workflow Editor role
  • User is assigned to Organization A and Organization B
  • User can edit workflows in Organization A
  • User can edit workflows in Organization B
  • User cannot edit workflows in Organization C unless assigned there too

Roles are not currently assigned per organization.

This means the following is not currently supported:

  • Job Manager in Organization A
  • Worker Manager in Organization B
  • no permissions in Organization C

Instead, if the user has both Job Manager and Worker Manager, both roles apply to all assigned organizations.

Multiple Roles

A user can have multiple roles.

When a user has multiple roles, permissions are combined.

Example:

  • User has Workflow Editor
  • User also has Job Uploader
  • User can create and edit workflows
  • User can view data connections
  • User can upload and start jobs

The user receives the combined permissions of both roles across all assigned organizations.

  • Assigned organizations: Organization A, Organization B

Result:

  • Can view jobs in Organization A
