The combination of your user role and permissions for shared resources determine your access to resources and functionality in Tamr Cloud. Resources include data products, tasks, and publish destinations, as well as connections to external data repositories and source datasets.

Your role determines the functionality you can access by default and your ability to create new resources.

Your permissions for resources shared with you determine the actions you can perform on those resources, regardless of your role.

User Roles

Each user is assigned a role: admin, author, or data citizen. These roles determine the functionality that the user can access by default. A user's role also determines whether they can add new:

Data products
Connections to external data repositories
Source datasets
Destinations for published data product datasets
