User Roles in Polly Atlas

Polly Atlas uses role-based access control to ensure secure and structured data access.

The Org Admin can create Atlases and assign roles to both internal and external users. Atlases can be shared with multiple users within an organization. Users with the Manager role (and Org Admin privileges) can further grant access to other users.

What Each Role Can Do

  • Manager
    Users with this role can fully manage the Atlas, including updating metadata, managing schema, modifying data, and controlling user access.

  • Researcher
    Users can create and manage tables, update schema, and add or modify data, but cannot perform administrative actions like archiving the Atlas or managing access.

  • Contributor
    Users can add and update data within tables but cannot modify the schema or structure.

  • Consumer
    Users can explore, query, and export data but cannot make any changes.
