DataStage user permissions

Post by sri1dhar »

Can I setup a DS user that can only view job design thru Designer but cannot run jobs? The existing "DataStage Developer" role gives permissions to both design and run jobs.

Regards
Sri

That's a tough requirement. Short answer: No. You could consider people looking at jobs a restricted activity to development servers only.

Thanks Kenneth. I guess we have to limit access to development as suggested.

Publish the designs on your intranet, using the documentation generator in version 7.5. Then anyone can look at the design there without needing to invoke the client tools.

You could give your users Developer rights to a project that is protected, and when you promote jobs into the project (with Version Control), make sure the Read Only option set (yes, you could also go in and muck the readonly flag directly if you like that approach). The main thing in this scheme is to have separation between Developers and Production Managers so that Developers do not have the ability to change jobs. The benefit of this over publishing is that some functions like View Data can still be accomplished even though the job is read-only. Downside is you need to have the DS client, and maintain careful watch on who has what access.
