Secured Entity Types - Platform
An entity type is a category of items to which you want to grant or deny access. For example, there is an entity type called "Dataflows" which controls permissions for all dataflows on the system. Platform entity types apply to all Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform installations, as compared to module-specific entity types that apply only if you have installed particular modules. The platform-level entity types are:
- Audit Log
- Controls access to the area in Management Console.
- Dataflows
- Controls access to all dataflow types (jobs, services, and subflows) in Enterprise
Designer. Note: If a user does not have the Edit permission, the user will only see the exposed version and the last saved version in the Versions pane in Enterprise Designer.
- Dataflows - Expose
- Controls the ability to make dataflows available for execution. Note: In order to expose the latest saved version of the dataflow (the version that's always at the top of the Versions pane in Enterprise Designer) the user must have the Edit permission for the Dataflows secured entity type in addition to the Edit permission for the Dataflows - Expose secured entity type. This is because the latest saved version must first be saved as a version before it can be exposed, which requires the Edit permission for the dataflow.

execution.Note: In order to expose the latest saved version of the process flow (the version that's always at the top of the Versions pane in Enterprise Designer) the user must have the Edit permission for the Process Flows secured entity type in addition to the Edit permission for the Process Flows - Expose secured entity type. This is because the latest saved version must first be saved as a version before it can be exposed, which requires the Edit permission for the dataflow.
