Privileges

Applies to: Kyvos Enterprise Kyvos Cloud (SaaS on AWS) Kyvos AWS Marketplace

Kyvos Azure Marketplace Kyvos GCP Marketplace Kyvos Single Node Installation (Kyvos SNI)

Privileges enable the Administrator to grant granular and specific privileges for different activities to different users.

Additionally, the administrator can assign privileges for admin activities like:

User management (users, groups, roles, import LDAP users)
Connection
License management
Resource allocation
Cluster Scheduling
Cluster Usage monitoring
Monitor different processes, process jobs, and queries
Notifications Subscription

When you are viewing or editing a role, click the Expand All icon at the top of the Roles window to view all of the privileges. Or, you can expand a single section.

Hover the cursor over an option within a category to view details about that option. For example, under the semantic models section, you can hover the cursor over Manage Jobs to learn what that privilege allows a user to do. Most are self-explanatory, but a few need further explanation.

Execute means you can use that type of object (dataset, semantic model, etc.) as the input object for a step but not view it directly or modify it. For example, you can use the a semantic model to create a workbook, but you can't view the semantic model or modify it.
Notification privileges let you specify by a group who can provide inputs for global events and who can subscribe other users to specific types of notifications. If a user is a member of a group with specific notification privileges set, they will receive those notifications without having to subscribe themselves or having someone subscribe to each individual. They have the option to unsubscribe themselves.
SQL Impersonation is required for impersonation from Tableau via the SQL interface. If you are not using the data with Tableau, this privilege isn't needed.

When you click some privileges, others are automatically granted. For example, when you click Modify under semantic models, View is automatically also granted.

The following table enlists the details of all the privileges available in the system.
