Adding members to Data Product Hub

To add members to Data Product Hub, they must first be added to the IBM Cloud account and assigned appropriate IAM roles. You can add individual users or user groups as community members. You create user groups in IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). Roles that are assigned to groups apply to all members of the group.

To add members to the community:

1. From the navigation menu, click Administration > Configurations and settings. Then, click Manage community.
2. Click Add members and choose whether to add members as Viewer, Editor, or Admin.
3. Select the individual users or access groups from your IBM Cloud account. You can use the Show drop-down to organize the complete list of members by Users and Groups. Then, click Add to confirm your selection.

Assigning roles

You must assign a collaborator role to each member of your data community. Each collaborator role has different tools and processes available to them to help fulfill their business goals.

To assign a member to a collaborator role:

1. Select the Actions menu next to the user or group.
2. Assign the Viewer, Editor, or Admin role.

To assign roles more quickly, you can select multiple members and update their roles simultaneously:

1. Check mark all the members who need new collaborator roles.
2. Click the Role icon and choose the new collaborator role. Then, click Save to confirm your update.
3. View the collaborator role and ensure that all members are assigned to the correct new role.

The roles are defined as:

• Viewer: For data product consumers who discover and subscribe to data products. The Viewer role provides minimal permissions.
• Editor: For data product producers who author, publish, and manage data products. The Editor role includes the permissions for Viewer.
• Admin: For administrators who add users and assign roles and other configuration tasks. The Admin role includes permissions for Viewer and Editor. The Admin role is usually assigned to one person who is responsible for managing users for Data Product Hub.

Removing members from Data Product Hub

To remove a user or group from Data Product Hub:

1. Select the Actions menu () next to the user or group that you want to remove.
2. Select Remove.

When a member is removed, they can no longer access Data Product Hub. If a group is removed, all members are removed.
