User permissions required: 'View users' OR 'Modify users'
Below is a table of the different user permissions in the platform and a description of what each permission empowers the user to do. Permissions are granted at the project level, so it's likely users will have and require different permissions for different projects, depending on their role.
Please Note: To be able to view the different permissions they or others have, users will need the 'View users' or 'Modify users' permissions. These permissions can be viewed in the Projects page as shown in the section above.
Permission Types:
- Sources permissions – refer to the data uploaded by your company for analysis
- Datasets permissions – give access to datasets, which are named collections of labels, entities and training data
- Streams permissions – give access to streams, which allow actions to be taken on newly ingested data
- Users permissions – allow individuals to view and/or modify users in their projects
- Buckets permissions* – give access to buckets, which are containers of raw data items that you can upload
- Integration permissions* - give access to integrations, which allow connecting other services to the platform
- Utility permissions* – includes any permissions which don’t fit into any of the other categories
* Please Note: Buckets, integration, and utility permissions (with the exception of upload files) are typically only granted to programmatic users such as development engineers, and are not required for day-to-day use of the platform
Permission Type | User Permission | Description |
Sources | View sources1 | View Sources and the verbatims they contain. This is required to view individual verbatims on the platform* |
Sources | View sensitive data Grants View sources | View any user properties which have been marked as sensitive, in addition to others |
Sources | Edit verbatims | Create, update and delete verbatims in a source via the API |
Sources | Sources admin Grants View sensitive data | Create, modify and delete sources. Source creation must be done via the API |
Sources | Create translated sources | Create sources (via the API) which are automatically translated into English |
Datasets | View labels [1]
| View pinned and predicted labels on the user's datasets. View Quality of Service and Tone scores (if enabled). This is required to view individual verbatims on the platform* |
Datasets | Modify datasets Grants View labels | Update a dataset's properties: e.g. its description, sources and entities. Enable Quality of Service and Tone analysis. |
Datasets | Review and label Grants View labels | Create, edit, and delete labels, and pin them to verbatims in the user's datasets. Add pre-trained labels. |
Datasets | Datasets admin Grants Modify datasets AND Review and label | Create and delete datasets. Pin trained models for use in streams. |
Datasets | Export datasets | Export datasets via the UI |
Streams * | View streams | View streams and their configuration |
Streams * | Modify streams | Update a stream's properties: e.g. its description and filter |
Streams * | Consume streams | Fetch and advance the output of a stream |
Streams * | Streams admin Grants View streams and Modify streams | Create, modify and delete streams |
Users | View users | View information on the other users in this user's projects |
Users | Modify users Grants View users | Modify other users' permissions and projects |
Buckets | View buckets | View information on raw data buckets |
Buckets | Add/remove buckets | Add or remove raw data buckets |
Buckets | Upload data to buckets | Upload data to buckets |
| Integrations | View integrations | View information on external integrations |
| Integrations | Modify integrations | Add or remove integrations with external services |
Utility | Upload files | Upload files to the Communications Mining server via the web UI |
Utility | Read appliance configs | Fetch appliance configs |
Utility | Write appliance configs | Upload new or replace existing appliance configs |
User permission guide
[1] To view any data related to a Source, Dataset or Verbatim in the platform requires both ‘View Sources’ and ‘View Labels’ permissions (or their parent permissions)
* 'Triggers' have been renamed to 'Streams' in the platform, to better reflect their functionality.
