Managing access to Streams
If you want other users to be able to manage or use this IBM Streams service instance, you as the service
instance creator and administrator must grant them permission.
Before you begin
The user to be granted permission must be added to Cloud Pak for Data. For more information, see Predefined roles and permissions.
About this task
The following roles are used by the Streams service instance:
- Administrator
- This role has authority to manage the service instance. For example, users that are assigned this role can manage access and roles, change the configuration of the service instance, delete the service instance, and submit and cancel jobs.
- User
- This role has authority to use the service instance. For example, users that are assigned to this role can view service instance properties and submit jobs. They can also perform the following tasks for jobs that they submitted: list the jobs and cancel the jobs.
Important: To
complete this task, you must be the user that provisioned this service instance or have been
assigned to the administrator role for this service instance. Granting users access to this service instance by assigning them to the administrator role applies
only to the current service instance; it does not grant the user administrator permissions for other
IBM Cloud Pak for Data service instances. Conversely,
even if users are an Cloud Pak for Data administrator,
they are not automatically authorized to manage this service instance unless they are explicitly
granted administrator access to this service instance.
