Re: Data Management Profile

James,

You are not missing anything.  The profiles are just used to group together a set of Data Management Groups but it is not used to run them.  The only area where you would run the data management job would be within the groups section as you have found.  This is the main area where you would design the Data Management Sequences and Steps and execute them.

You would need to grant the user "Access Group" permission to the DM Group in order to allow them to execute the Data Management Sequence and if you wanted to allow them to change items in the Group they would need to have "Maintenance Access".  The users should only see the groups that they have access to in the screen to avoid any confusion.

    Hello Jeff,

    Your comments here are really helpful.

    However I have one specific query as below:

    If I want to allow a user to be able to edit parameters of only one of of the DM Group and not to allow edit anything else - which Security roles need to be looked at.

    I can see only way to allow editing is to allow Security role 'ManageData' BUT this allows everything and all DM tasks and even user can setup a new DM group - which is really risky and can not be allowed. 

    Kindly help with your comments if I am missing somethin here.

    Our current status is, we can not allow users to edit the DM tasks and we keep on making parameter changes for business users, which is really a big pain. You guidance here would be really very helpful.

    Thanks
