Collaboration roles for governance

Review the collaboration roles for managing access to governance tools such as inventories, AI use cases, and evaluations.

User roles and permissions for governance

The permissions that you allow you to work with governance artifacts depend on your watsonx roles:

  • IAM Platform access roles determine your permissions for the IBM Cloud account. At least the Viewer role is required to work with services.
  • IAM Service access roles determine your permissions within services.
  • Workspace collaborator roles determine what actions you have permission to perform within workspaces in IBM watsonx.

For details, see Levels of user access roles in IBM watsonx.
