Data Management permissions
This article describes the permissions needed to use the Data Management module.
To set the permissions, you need to create a user role or edit an existing one and open the Permissions matrix. In the matrix, the permissions are collected into groups. Some of these groups can be expanded to set more granular permissions.
How to read this list
In this article, each heading describes an action. The permissions for that action are described in the form of breadcrumbs.
For example, if the required permissions are:
- Profiles > Client list:
read
- Search engine:
create
,edit
The permission matrix needs to look like this:

The read
permission is not explicitly listed when any higher permission is required - the portal enables it automatically.
