How to use the Data Fabric application

Before you can access Data Fabric, you must be configured as a user and assigned a security role. We recommend that you take some time to learn how to navigate through the application and to bookmark pages.

Security

Access to Data Fabric is managed through the Security application in Infor OS Portal. Before a user can access Data Fabric, they must meet these criteria:

  • They must be configured as a user in Security.
  • At least one security role applicable to Data Fabric must be assigned to that user.

Infor delivers these standard security roles for Data Fabric:

  • DATAFABRIC-SuperAdmin

    This role grants you full access to all pages in Data Fabric and full object access to all data in Data Lake.

  • DATAFABRIC-User

    This role grants you access to the Data Fabric Home and About Data Fabric pages.

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. For more information, see "Security".
