Check resource permissions

You can use Data Lineage to check users' permissions to view datasets or artifacts using the "Permissions" coloring option. To do that, start by adding nodes to the graph. You can do so using the search helper on the side panel.

Then expand the graph to view the lineage leading to your resource (read more about exploring lineage).

Once you have done this, use the Node color options dropdown to select the Permissions color scheme.

Select the user's name from the View as dropdown. This will allow you to see the user's permissions to each of the nodes on the graph.

There are two permission types you can color by:

• Data access in datasets
• Resource access

Data access in datasets

Use this option to troubleshoot permissions issues. Remember that a user's data access is affected by data lineage (see Platform Security). By coloring your nodes based on the user's access to data, you can easily see what the upstream datasets are that may restrict the user's access to data.

Note that this option only works on dataset nodes.

Resource access

This will allow you to see the role (such as Editor, Viewer, etc.) that is set for the selected user on the selected resource.

Use this option to view the level of access users have to your artifacts.
