InfoSphere Data Click roles

To use InfoSphere Data Click, users must have the role of InfoSphere Data Click Author or InfoSphere Data Click User, as well as additional InfoSphere Information Server suite roles. The Data Click Author role allows an enterprise architect to create data movement flows that Data Click Users can run. This controls the data that users can move into target assets. The Data Click User is a user who can select assets from within the data sources that the Data Click Author specified, and then move that set of data based on the policies that were defined by the Author.
