What's New: New User Roles and Data Product Permissions
We are pleased to announce new roles and permission model for Tamr Cloud. This new model allows you more control over which users can access data products and which actions they can perform.
New Tenant-Level User Roles
At the tenant levels, admins can assign the following roles to users:
- Admin: Full access to all system resources and actions.
- Editor:
- Create new data products, sources, and connections.
- Full access to all sources and connections on the system.
- For data products built with the new configuration experience, full access to all data products, except for the ability to delete them.
- For legacy data products, access to the data products that they own and that are shared with them.
- Viewer:
- Read-only access to all connections, and sources on the system.
- For data products built with the new configuration experience, read-only access to all data products.
- For legacy data products, access only to the data products that are shared with them.
- No Role: Users without an assigned role have access only to the data products that are shared with them.

See User Roles and Permissions for more information.
Automatic Migration to the New Roles
Existing role assignments were automatically updated to the new roles, as follows:
Previous Tenant-Level Role | New Tenant-Level Role |
---|---|
Admin | Admin |
Author | Editor |
Data Citizen | No Role |
New Data Product Roles
For data products built with the new configuration experience, admins can share data products and grant users specific permission levels.

All data product roles allow users to view golden records, source records, and insights. Additionally:
- Data product admins have full access to the data product, including the ability to share the data products with other users and delete the data product.
- Data product developers can edit the data product configuration and publish the data product.
- Data product curators can curate golden records and source record clusters.
- Data product viewers have read-only access to the data product.
See Data Product Permissions for more details.
No Change to Legacy Data Product Permissions
For legacy data products, there are no changes to the permissions that can be granted to users. You can continue to share these data products and grant users admin, editor, publisher, or viewer permissions. See Legacy Data Product Permissions.
