Predefined Anzo Roles and Permissions

This topic describes the roles that are predefined in Anzo and lists the permissions that are assigned to each role by default. The predefined roles can be removed or modified as desired. For instructions on changing roles, see Creating and Managing Roles.

• System Administrator
• Base Permissions (Everyone and Authenticated User Roles)
• Anzo Administrator
• Data Analyst
• Data Citizen
• Data Curator
• Data Governor
• Data Scientist

System Administrator

The System Administrator account, usually named sysadmin, is created during the Anzo installation. This account has permission to access all Anzo features in the main Anzo application as well as administrative features in the Administration application. In addition, the sysadmin user has read and write access to all of the artifacts (such as data sources, models, and pipelines) that are created by all Anzo users. The sysadmin user permissions cannot be changed, and the account cannot be deleted. In addition, artifacts cannot be configured to restrict sysadmin access. For information about changing the system administrator password, see Set the System Administrator Password.

Base Permissions (Everyone and Authenticated User Roles)

There is a set of base permissions that are applied to all user accounts by default. If a user account is created in Anzo but no roles are assigned, that user has the permissions of the Authenticated User role. By default, authenticated users cannot access the Anzo application but can access the Hi-Res Analytics application where they can browse for and create dashboards. They can also view data that is shared from Data on Demand endpoints.

The image below shows an example of the view an authenticated user has in the Hi-Res Analytics application.
