Application Roles
What are application roles?
Application roles allow groups of users the permissions to perform specific tasks. Loome Publish comes with five default BI Catalogue application roles and two additional Data Catalogue roles.
BI Catalogue:
- Administrator
- Help Desk Operator
- Publisher
- Tag Manager
- Consumer
Data Catalogue:
- Data Steward
- Data Reader
The table below shows these roles and their permissions. The white crosses are common permissions across roles, while the orange crosses are additional permissions to particular roles.
How do I assign groups or users to an application role?

How do I remove groups and users from an application role?
