Security

On the Security page, you can grant access to specific Data Fabric pages and features in the application.

Access to Data Fabric is managed through the Security application in Infor OS Portal or through User Management in Infor Ming.le. To access Data Fabric, you must be configured as a user in Security and be assigned to an Infor security role that has access to Data Fabric.

Infor delivers these standard security roles for Data Fabric:

  • DATAFABRIC-SuperAdmin

    Grants full access to all pages and functions in Data Fabric. We recommend that you assign this role to a limited number of users to ensure appropriate management of access to Data Fabric.

  • DATAFABRIC-User

    By default, this role grants access to the Data Fabric Home and About Data Fabric pages. This role provides administrators with a user template to which to grant access to specific Data Fabric pages and functions.

Additionally, the InforSystemAdministrator and MingleAdministrator Infor security roles have access to Data Fabric.

You can grant access to Data Fabric to additional Infor security roles on the Data Fabric Security page.

In Data Fabric Security, these levels of access controls are available:

  • Page access

    Controls whether a security role has access to a specific page in Data Fabric. If access is not granted, the page is not displayed in the Navigation menu.

  • Feature access

    Controls whether a security role can perform a specific action on a Data Fabric page. If access to a feature is not granted, the feature is not displayed on the page.

Your individual access to Data Fabric is determined by the permissions granted to the security roles that you are assigned to. If you are assigned to multiple security roles, only one of those security roles requires access to a page or feature for you to view the page and use the feature.

We recommend that you follow these best practices when managing security in Data Fabric:

  • Assign the DATAFABRIC-SuperAdmin role to a limited number of users to ensure appropriate management of access to Data Fabric.
  • Grant access to the Data Fabric pages and features only to the users who require them to fulfill their work responsibilities.
  • Instead of granting additional permissions to an existing role, create specific security roles to extend access to users who require that level of access.
