Share a Table with Others

Share a Table with Others

Any of these security requirements:
  • Prism: Tables Owner Manage
    domain in the Prism Analytics functional area.
  • Table Owner
    permission on the table.
When you create a table, you're the table owner. Being the owner of a table means you have
Table Owner
permission on the table. As a table owner, you can share it with other users and security groups. The table sharing feature is a way to control access to individual tables.
You might want to share a table with someone else so they can edit it, or import it into a derived dataset.
Table permissions control either:
  • Metadata. Example: Table Schema Editor, Table Schema Viewer.
  • Data. Example: Can Delete Table Data, Can Truncate Table Data, Can Select Table Data, Can Insert Table Data.
  • Metadata and Data. Example: Table Owner, Table Editor, Table Viewer.
  1. Access the
    View Table Details
    report.
  2. Select
    Actions
    Security

    .
  3. Assign a user or security group to the desired
    Permission

    When you grant someone one of the data permissions, that user must have access to view the table schema. Example: If you want to grant Can Insert Table Data permission, you must also grant either Table Schema Viewer or Table Viewer permission.
  4. (Optional) Share the table with more users, or remove access from users listed in the table.
  5. When you're done sharing the table with others, click
