Policies tab. Note that these Role-specific policies <strong>cannot</strong> be changed. You can find the full list of policies corresponding to each Role at the bottom of this
<a href="https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/metadata-service/war/src/main/resources/boot/policies.json" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">file</a>.</p><p>If you would like to have finer control over what a user on your DataHub instance can do, the Roles system interfaces cleanly
with the Policies system. For example, if you would like to give a user a <strong>Reader</strong> role, but also allow them to edit metadata
for certain domains, you can add a policy that will allow them to do. Note that adding a policy like this will only add to what a user can do
in DataHub.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="role-privileges">Role Privileges<a href="#role-privileges" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Role Privileges" title="Direct link to Role Privileges"></a></h3><h4 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="self-hosted-datahub-and-datahub-cloud">Self-Hosted DataHub and DataHub Cloud<a href="#self-hosted-datahub-and-datahub-cloud" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Self-Hosted DataHub and DataHub Cloud" title="Direct link to Self-Hosted DataHub and DataHub Cloud"></a></h4><p>These privileges are common to both Self-Hosted DataHub and DataHub Cloud.</p><h5 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="platform-privileges">Platform Privileges<a href="#platform-privileges" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Platform Privileges" title="Direct link to Platform Privileges"></a></h5><table><thead><tr><th>Privilege</th><th>Admin</th><th>Editor</th><th>Reader</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Generate Personal Access Tokens</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Generate personal access tokens for use with DataHub APIs.</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Domains</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Create and remove Asset Domains.</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Home Page Posts</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Create and delete home page posts</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Glossaries</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Create, edit, and remove Glossary Entities</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Tags</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Create and remove Tags.</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Business Attribute</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Create, update, delete Business Attribute</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Documentation Forms</td><td>✔️</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td>Manage forms assigned to assets to assist in documentation efforts.</td></tr><tr><td>Manage Policies</td><td>✔️</td><td></td><td></td><td>Create and remove access control policies.
