Users & Roles

UserRoles

DQM has two predefined roles:

  • admin - Allows all actions inside DQM and has access to all data sources. Admin users can modify all DQM settings

  • user - Allows all default actions inside DQM and has access to all data sources

Adding a custom role

NewRole

  • Role name - Identifier role name

  • Allowed connections - Allowed data sources for given role

  • Read-only - Defines given role as read-only, which will be assigned to license read-only users

  • Privileges - Access to specific functionalities of DQM. You can also use "All privileges" slider to enable all DQM functionalities or disable specific pages for selected role.

Adding a read-only role

NewRole

For read-only users you can choose specific pages they have access to.

Adding a new user

NewUser

  • Username - Username identifier

  • Display name - Display name which will be displayed throughout DQM

  • Email - User email address used for alerts

  • Password - User password (Password must be between 12 - 72 characters. We recommend using a mix of words, numbers and symbols). For OAuth/LDAP/AD users no password is needed. If these users will be assigned a password, they can access with both OAuth/LDAP/AD authentication and local user.

  • Role - Role determines what the user can do in DQM based on the privileges and allowed connections assigned to that role.

Recovering admin user

If in some case admin user credentials are forgotten, admin user password can be reset from the application machine. DQM container/JAR file should be rerun with parameter “dqm.recovery.password”

docker run -d -e … “JAVA_OPTIONS=-Ddqm.recovery.password=mynewtemppassword” {image}
java -Ddqm.recovery.password=mynewtemppassword … -jar SelectZero.jar
