Project and User Roles

A user who creates a project is assigned the Project Author role. Other users or groups may be either Project Authors or Restricted Project Users. Project Authors can add, remove, or set permissions for users and user groups.

Project Roles

Project roles grant access privileges to project content and configuration. The roles are:

Role	Description
Project Author	Project authors can: Configure and manage a project Add or remove users and user groups Assign user and user group roles Transform project data Export project data Project authors cannot: Create new data sets Access the Studio Control Panel
Project Restricted User	Project Restricted Users can: View a project and navigate through the configured pages Add and configure project pages and components Project restricted users cannot: Access Project Settings Create new data sets Transform data Export project data

User Roles

The table below summarizes the overlap between project roles and Studio user roles.

Role	Description
Administrator	Administrators always have the Project Author role for all projects.
Power User	Power users do not gain any access to a project beyond what is configured for the All Big Data Discovery users group.
User	Users do not gain any access to a project beyond what is configured for the All Big Data Discovery users group.
Restricted User	Restricted users do not gain any access to a project beyond what is configured for the All Big Data Discovery users group.

If you wish to assign project permissions by Studio roles, you can use the Control Panel User Settings > User Groups page to create a User Group that maps to a role, and then use the Project Settings > Sharing page within a project to assign permissions for that User Group.

For additional details about user roles in Studio, see "About Role Privileges" in the Administrator's Guide.
