Assigning Data Source Admins

When creating a Data Source, or anytime later (as a Data Source Admin), a user can assign additional Admins to the Data Source through the screen below. The logged-in user will, for obvious reasons, be automatically moved into the right panel and considered to be the Data Source Admin.

This screen is accessible during the Data Source creation workflow. Once the connection parameters are defined, the user can click on the Next Step button to reach the third stage of the workflow - which is the Add Admin Users screen.

The existing Data Source Admins can also access the Add Admin Users screen from:

  • Edit Data Source workflow

  • Edit the Entitlements Link in the Data Source Detail screen.

Apart from getting access to the Data Source to be able to edit its connection properties etc., a Data Source Admin also gets entitled to all the content of the Data Source without the need of specifying explicitly in User Entitlements. Since the role of the Data Source Admin comes with these privileges, it should be chosen carefully.

Useful Note: Test Tenants normally come with a default Data Source and all initial users of the tenant get Data Source Admin entitlements to this Data Source, to get you started.
