Share Terracotta connections

You can share Terracotta connections with particular users and user groups so that they have access to the Terracotta dataset and manage datasets with feed results.

Regardless of the users and user groups with whom you have shared the connections, users with administrative privileges can access all Terracotta aliases.

Procedure

  1. Open the MashZone NextGen Admin Console.
  2. Click Server to expand this section of the Administration menu.
  3. Click Terracotta.
  4. Click the Edit permission Edit URL alias permissions icon of the Terracotta connection you want to share.
  5. Enter a term in the search field and click Search. Clicking Search without any input values retrieves all users and groups.
  6. Drag a user or user group from the Search result field and drop it into the Principals with permissions field.

    By default, the owner of the Terracotta connection is already present in the Principals with permissions list. This owner is non editable and cannot be removed from the list.

  7. Activate or deactivate the Display or Usage privileges of a user or user group.

    A user or user group with the Display privilege can see the relevant source data from the datasets in the data feed or dashboard, including datasets used for Materialized Feeds.

    A user or user group with the Usage privilege has access to the relevant Terracotta connection of the data source operator in the data feed editor. To access datasets with data feed results in the source operator, the user or user group needs the Usage privilege for the Materialized Feed alias and the Usage privilege for the Terracotta connection. To materialize data feed results in a dataset, the user or user group needs the Usage privilege for the materialized data feed alias, the Usage privilege for the associated Terracotta connection, and the Display privilege for the corresponding data feed.
