  • 1.  Access Control Within CP4D

    Posted Wed May 20, 2020 12:38 PM
    Hi All,

    Please could anyone advice me on how to restrict user access within the cp4d? I know there are pre-defined roles bearing several permissions for each role. But I have also seen situations where a Business Analyst, for example, requires some permissions from the Data Engineer Role and what I have observed, is the tendency to also assign the Data Engineer Role (as a whole), for example, to the BA. My question is, is there a way to create a granular role that will only allow the BA access to the specific permission they need from the Data Engineer Role? I am new with the CP4D tool but very security conscious lest I grant too much access to users (more than they require)! Trying hard to stick with the Least privilege principle :) 

    Your advice is appreciated

    hi Rome

    you can modify the out-of-the-box roles and create new ones as you like. As per this link in the product hub (v2.5): Managing users
