Data space roles and permissions

When you create a data space, you become the owner of the data space and all resources inside of that space. Space owners, tenant admins, and data admins can add members to the data space. Also, data space members who are granted the Can manage role can add other members to the space. When you add members to the data space, you can assign them roles inside the space. Space roles are defined by a set of permissions on the data space, and the resources inside the space.

Data tasks operate in the context of their owner.

• The owner of a data task must have the Can edit role in the space where the data task resides. This allows the catalog to be updated with table metadata and ensures that storage tasks can create data files in the space.

• To create data connections to access data through Data Gateway - Data Movement, the following roles are required:

  • Can manage on the space where you create the data connection.

  • Can consume, Can edit, or Can manage on the space where the data gateway resides.

• The owner of a storage task must have the Can consume, Can edit, or Can manage role in the space that contains data connections to the cloud landing area.
