About permissions and permission sets

Tonic Textual uses permissions and permission sets to manage role-based access (RBAC) to Textual features and functions.

A permission grants access to a specific feature or function.

A permission set is a collection of permissions that can be assigned to a user or an SSO group.

Built-in and custom permission sets

Textual provides a set of built-in permission sets that you cannot edit or delete.

You can also create custom permission sets.

Global permission sets

Global permission sets control access to features and functions that are outside of the context of a specific dataset or pipeline. For example, global permission control who can manage users and configure custom entity types.

You can also select a default global permission set to assign to all new users.

For the list of global permission sets and available permissions, go to Built-in permission sets and available permissions.

For information on how to assign global permission sets, go to Configuring access to global permission sets.

Dataset and pipeline permission sets

Dataset and pipeline permission sets provide access to specific dataset or pipeline management features and functions.

Dataset and pipeline permission sets are assigned to users and groups within the context of a specific dataset or pipeline. For example, a user might have the Editor permission set in one dataset and the Viewer permission set in another dataset.

For the lists of built-in dataset and pipeline permission sets and available permissions, go to Built-in permission sets and available permissions.
