Role-based access control

This section is primarily intended to guide administrators in configuring and managing access control based on user roles for Document Understanding^TM.

User roles

Document Understanding^TM has the following default roles and permissions:

• DU Administrator: acts as a service-level administrator who has permission to perform any action within Document Understanding.
  Note: DU Administrators can only assign roles if they also hold the position of Organization Administrator. This can occur in two scenarios:

  • If the DU Administrator role was inherited as part of the Administrator group at Organization level, it works as expected. Any user part of the Administrator group in Automation Suite is automatically an Organization Administrator.
  • If the DU Administrator role was explicitly assigned (for example, to a user that is part of the Everyone group in Automation Suite), the user can perform all tasks in Document Understanding as defined by the DU Administrator role, except Role Assignments.
• DU Developer: acts as a project-level administrator who has permission to perform any action within a project.
• DU Model Trainer: has permission to modify certain document type settings and delete or upload documents.
• DU Viewer: has permissions to view certain features, but can't modify any settings within a project.

Inheritance of organization roles

Organization roles are automatically mapped to Document Understanding roles.

Table 1. Organization roles inheritance

Tenant role	Document Understanding role
Administrators	DU Administrator
Automation Developers	DU Developer
Automation Users	DU Viewer

Organization Administrators are automatically granted DU Administrator privileges. This applies to all other roles mentioned in the table above. However, you can't currently remove or delete automatically assigned roles. For instance, if you want only a specific subset of organization admins to have DU Administrator privileges, this feature is not available at this time. You can explicitly assign the DU Administrator role to a user outside of the Administrator group, but they will not have access to manage role assignments.

Managing and assigning roles

To manage overall access and roles for Document Understanding, select the Manage access button at the top-right of the screen.

To manage access for a specific project, open that project and go to the Manage access section at the bottom-left of the screen.

User roles and permissions

Setting up different roles, assigning specific access rights, and managing users ensure that each user within your organization has the type of access suited to their professional requirements, upholding data integrity and enhancing system security.

On the Manage Access page you can see four types of roles with their appropriate permissions:

• Document Understanding Administrator: administrator, has all permissions.
• Document Understanding Developer: can read projects and can manage anything inside a project: classifiers, extractors, document types. Cannot create or delete projects.
• Document Understanding Model Trainer: can view projects, label documents, edit fields, import or export data and delete data from a Document Type session.
• Document Understanding Viewer: can view all entities but has no rights to edit or delete them.
