To perform some administration tasks, you need roles which are assigned by the Service Administrator:

• You need the Application - Create role to register applications. After a application is registered you are assigned Owner permission to the application, enabling you to update the application and data, create data objects, and to give users permission to use the application.

• You need the Views - Create role to create views. After a view is created you are assigned Owner permission to the view, enabling you to update the view, and to give users permission on the view.
