Managing access

Roles and their underlying permissions

Important: The View users, Modify users, and Upload files permissions have been deprecated following the migration to the new RBAC experience. For more details, check Role-based access control (RBAC).

This section contains an overview of the different roles and the permissions they grant in the Communications Mining platform.

Permission types

Define the level of access granted to users for specific actions or resources.

Permission type

Description

Sources permissions Refer to the data your company uploaded for analysis.
Datasets permissions Grant access to datasets (i.e. named collections of labels), general fields and training data.
Streams permissions Grant access to streams, which allow you to take actions on newly ingested data.
Users permissions

(deprecated)

Allow you to view and/or modify users in their projects.
Buckets permissions Grant access to buckets, which are containers of raw data items that you can upload.
Integration permissions Grant access to integrations, which allow you to connect other services to the platform.
Utility permissions Include any permissions which do not belong to any of the other categories.
Note:

Buckets, integration, and utility permissions are typically only granted to programmatic users such as development engineers. In addition, these permissions are not required for the daily use of the platform.

Updating roles and permissions

Note: You must have the Tenant Admin or Modify users permissions assigned to update the roles and permissions of a user.
Note:
  • Automation Cloud organization administrators are automatically granted the CM Tenant Admin role. This role cannot be removed without removing their organization admin role.
  • The project administrator receives all the roles in a project, and can distribute the roles to all the users. You can only assign to a user the roles and permissions that you already have. You need the administrator of your project to first assign other permissions to you.

Updating the project roles and permissions of a user

Note: The project owner is granted all the roles in a project. Project owners can distribute the roles to all the users.

To edit the project roles of another user and assign them permissions, proceed as follows:

  1. Log into Communications Mining, and go to the Manage Access tab.
  2. Select a project from the All projects drop-down list.
  3. Select any permission in the Project Permissions column for the user you want to update the permissions.
  4. Select or deselect the roles you want to assign in the Project-specific permissions sidepanel.


    Administrator permissions appear shaded in a darker colour, and automatically grant other permissions:


Note: If you had the Modify Datasets permission assigned before, or you currently have Dataset Admin assigned, you are automatically granted the new Modify Dashboards permission.

Updating the global roles and permissions of a user

To grant tenant administrator permissions to another user, proceed as follows:

  1. Log into Communications Mining, and go to the Manage Access tab
  2. Select a project from the All projects drop-down list.
  3. Select CM Tenant Admin in the Global Permissions column.


  4. Select CM Tenant Admin to grant the tenant administrator permission.


Creating new user (non-Automation Cloud admins)

Note: If you are a Communications Mining administrator (i.e. non-Automation Cloud admin), you must have the Modify users permissions assigned to create a new user in Communications Mining.
  1. Log into Communications Mining, and select the gear icon to access the Administration page.
  2. Go to the Manage Access tab.
  3. Select the All Projects drop-down list, and select the project you want to add the new user to from the dropdown menu.
  4. Select New user to create a new user.
    Note: If you are part of multiple projects with different members in them, the Add a user modal is displayed..

  5. Select Create user
    Note: If you are part of one or more projects with the same members, the platform skips the Create user step, and displays the Create a new user modal instead.

  6. Fill in the required fields, which are describes as follows:
    • Username - the username of the new user.
    • Email - the company email of the new user.
    • Send welcome email - the user will receive a welcome email that enables it to finish setting up its new account.
  7. Select Create user.

Deleting or removing a user

Note:

You must have the Modify users permissions assigned to delete or remove the roles and permissions of a user.

Note:

To permanently delete a user, make sure you have access to all projects as the user, and have the Modify users permission assigned to each project. Otherwise, an error message is displayed when you attempt to delete them.

To remove, or to completely delete, a user from a project, proceed as follows:

  • Go to the Manage Access tab.

  • Select the ellipsis for the user you want to remove or delete.
  • Select Remove from project.
  • Select Confirm to remove the user, or, for non-Automation Cloud users, to completely delete the user.
