Secured Entity Types - Business Steward Module

Exceptions

Entity types control access to modify, delete, manage, and review exceptions in the Business Steward Module.

View

Provides access to the Data Quality page to review exception trend data. A user who does not have View permissions will not be able to see the Data Quality page.

Modify

Provides access to the Manage page and all users exceptions on the Dashboard and Editor pages. A user who does not have Modify permissions will not have access to the Manage page or other users exceptions.

Note: Modify permissions also controls access to users in the Read Exception stage. A user who does not have modify permission will not be able to read other users' exceptions from the Business Steward Portal.

Delete

Provides access to the Purge section on the Manage page that allows a user to delete exceptions.

Note: A user must also have Modify permissions to access the Manage page.

In addition to creating secured entity types, you can also use Access Control to create security entity overrides that specify exception record restrictions for specific dataflows or specific stages. These overrides supersede user-based and role-based security entity type settings to make permissions more restrictive.

For example, if user JohnSmith has Modify permissions based on the secured entity type, but there are specific exceptions for a dataflow that his manager does not want anyone to alter, his manager can define an access control setting that restricts John Smith from modifying exceptions for that particular dataflow. He is still able to modify other dataflows, but not the one for which there is the more restrictive access control setting.
