Create a responsibility

Important 

In Collibra 2024.02, we've launched a new user interface (UI) in beta for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

You can create a responsibility:

  • By assigning a resource role to a user or user group on the responsibilities page of a resource.
  • By adding a user in the table column of a role.
  • By editing an existing responsibility.

Important For optimal performance and ease of use, we recommend that you create responsibilities mainly on domains and communities and not directly on assets. Creating responsibilities directly on large amounts of assets may lead to decreased performance.

Assign a resource role to a user or user group on the responsibilities page

  1. Open a community, domain, or asset page.
  2. In the tab panebar, click Responsibilities.
    The Responsibilities page appears.
  3. Above the table, to the right, click Add.
    The Add responsibilitiy dialog box appears.
  4. Enter the required information.
    OptionDescription
    RoleEnter the role that you want to assign to a user or group for this resource.
    PeopleUsers or groups Enter the users and user groups to which you want to assign a role for this resource.
  5. Click Add.
    The users or groups with the assigned role are now displayed in the Responsibilities table.
Tip 
  • If you want to assign a user or user group a resource role that other users or groups already have for this resource, you can click and add them in the People field in the Assign role box.
  • If there are only inherited roles, is not available.

Assign a role to a user or user group for a resource from a table

  1. Open a table that displays communities, domains or assets.
  2. If required, add the column of the role that you want to assign to the user.
  3.  Do one of the following:
    • Double-click a cell in the column of the role.
    • Hover your mouse pointer over a cell in the column and click .
  4. Click in the field and enter the user or user group.
  5. Double-click in the cell of the relevant column and row, and then enter the user or user group.
  6. If required, select Apply to visible rows.
    This will create the responsibilities for all visible users.
    Tip You can filter the columns first, to assign a role to a user for specific resources in one go.
