Roles Page

Select Roles from the left-side UI menu to access the Roles page. This page lists the Okera roles defined in your Okera environment. Roles are used control access to data through role-based access control (RBAC). By defining permissions to a role, you can limit or transform the data that users assigned that role can view. Users can belong to more than one role. If permissions conflict, Okera uses a union of all permissions to determine data access. If one permission grants a user access to data and another one doesn't, Okera grants the user access to the data. For complete information about role management and permissions, see Manage Roles and Manage Data Permissions.
