## Permissions

For full access to the data quality manager, you need the required Qlik Answers access and permissions to the data sources and quality assets you will be using.

### Administrator-assigned permissions

You need the following permissions, assigned by a tenant admin:

* The Agentic AI &gt; Data governance permission set to Allowed. This permission is located in the Features and actions section of the default permissions and custom roles. See [Default permissions and custom roles](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Admin/permissions-scopes-capacity-model.htm).
