Data Import permissions - Additional Enhancements - DRAFT

As of Lotus release, there are 2 User permissions for Data Import

• Data Import: All permissions
  • Upload files
  • Assign job profiles
  • Run imports
  • View logs
• Settings (Data import): Can view, create, edit, remove
  • All 4 profile types
  • File extensions
  • Field protections

As of Morning Glory release, there are 5 User permissions for Data Import

• Data import: Can upload files, import, and view logs (UIDATIMP-1143)
  • A renamed version of the previous Data import: All permissions
  • Can do anything in the Data Import app except delete job logs
• Data import: Can delete import logs (UIDATIMP-1144)
  • New permission in Morning Glory
  • Can only delete import logs from the DI Landing page and View all page.
  • To import, user must also have the permission above this one
• Data import: Can view only (UIDATIMP-1187, UIDATIMP-1174)
  • New permission in Morning Glory
  • Assign to users who need to view import job logs, but are not permitted to import via the Data Import app
  • Typical use case: User who imports directly from Inventory UI via Inventory Single Data Import, and occasionally needs to see the DI Logs to see if an import completed or errored
• Settings (Data import): Can view, create, edit, and remove
  • An existing permission; no change since its creation
• Settings (Data import): Can view only (UIDATIMP-1145)
  • New permission in Morning Glory
  • Assign to users who should be able to view any DI permissions, but cannot create/edit/delete them

Assumptions:

• Keep existing broad permissions (so that we do not have to deprecate permissions, and so that tenants are not forced to update permissions for DI users)
• Add new, narrower permissions for users that need to be restricted in some way

No further work on DI permissions is currently planned.

Possible additional future permissions

• Be able to import only certain file types (MARC Bibs, MARC Holdings, MARC Authorities, EDIFACT Invoices)
• Settings (Data import): Can view, create, edit, delete Data import profiles (not yet prioritized by the community)
• Settings (Data import): Can view, create, edit, delete Data import file extensions and field protections (not yet prioritized by the community)
• Permission breakdown by import action (consider a separate permission for delete action in the future)
• Separate permissions for preview, but not commit (run) - will be added when the Preview function is developed
• Changes to Inventory Single Record Import permissions - those are managed by the Inventory PO currently

UI

• UI names of permissions
• E-to-E scenarios

BE

• Scope of new permissions
