Resource Access Levels

This article details the different user access levels that can be assigned when sharing data flows or resources with other Nexla users as well as the permissions granted with each access level.

For information about sharing Nexsets, see Section 10 of the Help Center article Nexset (Dataset) Information.

For information about sharing data flows, see Section 5 of the Help Center article Data Flow Information & Insights.

1. Owner​

A resource/data flow owner can do the following:

  • Modify the resource(s)
  • Delete the resource(s)
  • Activate and/or pause the resource(s) or data flow
  • Use the resource(s) in other data flows and/or Nexsets
  • Modify the resource(s)
  • Share the resource(s) or data flow with other users

    When an Owner shares a resource or data flow, the Owner also assigns an access level to the recipient.

  • Modify access controls for the resource(s) or data flow if shared with other users
  • Remove access to the resource(s) or data flow from other users
