How to restrict viewing in Talend Data Catalog at the folder level

[TalendSolutionExpert]

This article describes how to configure Talend Data Catalog (TDC) to restrict viewing capability on folders to a specific set of users using Restricted View object roles.

For more information, see Managing object roles available in Talend Help Center. 

To demonstrate how to configure the permissions, consider a simple use case with two users, where:

• UserA must have viewing capability on all folders except ProjectB.
• UserB must have viewing capability on all folders except ProjectA.

1. Configure UserA to be a member of groupA.

   

   
    

2. Configure UserB to be a member of groupB.

   

   
    

3. Configure groupA with the Default Configuration, ConfigurationA.

   

   
    

4. Configure groupB with the Default Configuration, ConfigurationB.

   

   
    

5. Ensure the View Restricted role for the Repository's main folder is set to the Everyone group.

   

   
    

6. Configure the ProjectA folder with the View Restricted object role set to groupA.

   

   
    

7. Configure the ProjectB folder with the View Restricted object role set to groupB.

   

   
    

8. Log in as userA and make sure you don't see ProjectB.

   

   
    

9. Log in as UserB and make sure you don't see ProjectA.
