    You may create your own roles or use one of the default roles. The default roles are:

    This role has full access to all parts of the system.

    This role is for users that create dataflows and process flows in Enterprise Designer. It provides the ability to design and run dataflows.
    integrator
    This role is for users who need to process data through Spectrum™ Technology Platform but do not need to create or modify dataflows. It allows the user to access services through web services and the API, and to run jobs.
    user
    This is the default role. It provides no access to the system. Users who have this role will only gain access to the system if you grant permission through secured entity overrides.
