User and group management overview

With user and group management, you can define users and what they are allowed to do in which part of Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.

Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud uses a standard user-group-role model. This means that you can create groups and add users to them. Subsequently, you can assign roles to individual users or groups.

Assigning roles to users or groups is important:

• You provide or restrict permissions to do certain actions in Collibra, such as editing asset attributes or deleting domains.
• You define the responsibilities of the user. These responsibilities are mostly used in workflows to assign tasks to the correct users.

You can manage users in the following ways:

• Manually: Create users and groups within Collibra.
• LDAP: Connect Collibra to your company's LDAP server to import users and groups.
