Security in watsonx.data is
based on roles. A role is a group of permissions that control the actions you can perform in
watsonx.data. To perform certain actions
and manage specific sessions in watsonx.data, the user must also have the
appropriate authorization.
Authorization is granted by assigning a specific role to the user account. Use the Role Based
Access Control feature in watsonx.data to
grant users the access privileges they require for their role.
