Create an assignment

You can create an assignment for an asset type if you want to change the behavior of assets of this type in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform. For example, you do this if you want to make a specific attribute type available only for assets of a certain type.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
• If you want to create a scoped assignment, you have created the scope.

Steps

1. Open an asset type:
   1. On the main toolbar, click , and then click Settings.
      The Collibra settings page opens.
   2. Click Operating Model.
      The operating model settings are shown.
   3. On the Asset types tab, click the name of an asset type.
      The asset type overview page opens. The Asset type editor opens.
2. Create a global or scoped assignment:

   Assignment type	Steps
   Global assignment	In the tab pane, click Add global assignment. The Add Global Assignment dialog box appears. Click Add global assignment. The asset type no longer inherits the assignments of its parent asset types. Note Each asset type can only have one global assignment.
   Scoped assignment	In the tab pane, click Add assignment. The Select scope for this assignment dialog box appears. Select a scope. Note You can only add one scope at a time. Click Add assignment. The settings of the global assignment are copied into the selected scope. Note You can only create scoped assignments if the asset type has a global assignment.
