Users and Permissions
- Allison Nederveld
Users in the FEWS NET Data Platform are defined as the primary principals for which access to the system is granted. A user in the system represents a person or an external system that needs to have access to data in the system.
A user group in the system is a collection of one or more users that have a common need to access a certain type of data available in the system.
A permission is defined as a right to perform a certain operation against a record of data in the system. For example, a permission may give a user the right to add new data into a data source document table, while a separate permission may give the user the right to delete a single row of data from a data source document table.
