Manage data feed permissions

You can manage the permissions of data feeds in the data feed editor. You can assign specific access permissions to individual users or user groups. If you assign permissions to a user group, the permissions are automatically assigned to all members of the user group.

For new users and user groups of a data feed, you can automatically assign view permissions to all associated assets of the data feed, such as aliases or other data feeds. It is not required to assign the permissions to each asset manually. A user requires the view permission for all associated assets to display the corresponding source data in the data feed. If view permissions are not assigned to all associated assets, a corresponding option to assign the missing view permissions is additionally displayed in the dialog.

You can specify the following access rights for saved data feeds.
