User permissions explained

User permissions required: 'View users' OR 'Modify users'.

Below is an overview of the different user permissions in the platform and a description of what each permission empowers the user to do. Permissions are granted at the project level, so it's likely users will have and require different permissions for different projects, depending on their role.

Note:

To be able to view the different permissions they or others have, users will need the 'View users' or 'Modify users' permissions. These permissions can be viewed in the Projects page.

Permission type	Description
Sources permissions	refer to the data uploaded by your company for analysis
Datasets permissions	give access to datasets, which are named collections of labels, entities and training data
Streams permissions	give access to streams, which allow actions to be taken on newly ingested data
Users permissions	allow individuals to view and/or modify users in their projects
Buckets permissions*	give access to buckets, which are containers of raw data items that you can upload
Integration permissions*	give access to integrations, which allow connecting other services to the platform
Utility permissions*	includes any permissions which don’t fit into any of the other categories

*) Buckets, integration, and utility permissions (with the exception of upload files) are typically only granted to programmatic users such as development engineers, and are not required for day-to-day use of the platform.

**) 'Triggers' have been renamed to 'Streams' in the platform, to better reflect their functionality.
