Global permissions

A global permission is a permission that applies across all Collibra applications. It can be added to a global role.

The following table contains an overview of the global permissions and the default configuration of the out-of-the-box global roles.

Note Users with roles that have permissions with Read-only required licenses that start or participate in workflows count towards the Standard effective licenses for the month the workflow participation occurs in.
