Permissions

Permissions are provided to allow Bigeye Admins to take finer-grained control of how users interact with Bigeye. Permissions are assigned to given Roles which are then assigned to Groups and Workspaces to grant access to users.

The following are permissions that can be applied to roles and their descriptions.

More permissions are planned to be added in future releases.

Data Preview Permission

• Grants the ability to preview data values in the following places in Bigeye:
  • The table Preview tab in the catalog
  • Alerting metrics Debug tab
  • Alerting custom rules Debug tab
  • Create/edit custom rule modal Preview button (will hide/show the returned rows)
• This permission also allows users to download a CSV of affected rows in the Debug tab of alerting metrics
• Interactions with Advanced Settings
  • Data Restricted advanced setting: if this setting is turned ON, the data preview permission will not have any effect. Users will not be able to access data previews or download data.
  • Catalog Data Preview advanced setting: if this setting is turned OFF, the data preview permission will not have any effect. Users will not be able to access data previews or download data.

Base roles

Bigeye's base roles behave like predefined bundles of permissions. A role is defined by the combination of its base role and its fine-grained permissions (listed above).

None provides a blank-slate starting point. Roles with a base role of None only have the fine-grained permissions.

View provides read-only access to a workspace. View users can only change state that is related to themselves (eg add/remove favorites)

Edit provides basic access to a workspace. Users can perform most actions within a workspace, like creating or running metrics and deltas, configuring collections, updating issues, etc.

Manage is the most-privileged role within a workspace. In addition to the Edit privileges, Manage users can also create/update/delete sources, BI tools, ETL tools, virtual tables, templates, and schedules, as well as show/hide schemas.
