Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Assign granular permissions to users based on their roles

SyncSage uses role-based access control (RBAC) to provide granular permissions to users based on their roles within your organization. This approach simplifies user management while ensuring proper security controls.

Role	Permissions
Admin	Full access: Manage users, pipelines, and settings
Developer	Build/edit pipelines, dbt models, and workflows
Analyst	Run queries, create dashboards, and export data
Viewer	Read-only access to dashboards and reports

How to Assign Roles:

Navigate to Users > Manage Roles
Select a user and choose their role
For bulk assignments, use the API:

# API Example
PUT /users/{userId}/roles
{
  "roles": ["analyst"]
}

Enterprise customers can create custom roles with specific permission sets tailored to their organization's needs.

Creating a Custom Role:

Go to Settings > User Management > Roles
Click "Create Custom Role"
Name the role and select permissions
Save and assign to users

API Example:

# Create Custom Role
POST /roles
{
  "name": "Data Engineer",
  "description": "Can manage data pipelines but not visualizations",
  "permissions": [
    "sources:read",
    "sources:write",
    "transformations:read",
    "transformations:write",
    "warehouse:read"
  ]
}
