Privileges and Roles Reference
In Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC), you can create and assign roles, each consisting of 1 or more privileges. A privilege is a level of access to an asset in AACAAC, for example, a workflow in Designer Experience or dataset on the Data page.
For more information on privileges and roles, go to Présentation de l'autorisation .
Privileges
These are the available privileges for assets in AACAAC, including the supported access levels...
Important
You can't directly assign privileges to a user. Use the Default, Custom, and Application-Specific roles to assign the correct privileges for users in your workspace.
Workflows
The Workflows privilege manages access to Designer Experience and Designer Desktop workflows.
Access Level | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
0 | None | Assigned users can't perform operations on workflows. |
1 | Editor | Assigned users can view, edit, and share workflows. |
2 | Author | All of the above, plus... Assigned users can create and delete workflows. |
Flows
The Flows privilege governs access to Trifacta Classic flows.
Access Level | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
0 | None | Assigned users can't see or use flows, including the pages where flows are available. |
1 | Viewer | Assigned users can access the Flows page and Flow View page for flows that the user owns or has been shared. Users can also run jobs on their own flows. Users can't make changes to any flows. |
2 | Editor | All of the above, plus... Assigned users can edit, share, and run jobs on flows to which they have access. Note By default, editors can also schedule flows. A Workspace AdminAdministrateur de l'espace de travail can disable this option. Astuce Flow editors can edit any custom SQL used to import datasets into the flow. |
3 | Author | All of the above, plus... Assigned users can create new flows, schedule flows, and delete flows. |
Astuce
If you've enabled deployment management, a deployment user should be assigned author-level access. Lesser flow roles might prevent the deployment user from properly importing and managing flows. Go to the Roles Page.

Standard Platform Roles
AACAAC provides these roles by default...
Note
You can't remove these roles.
Default
AACAAC assigns each user the Default role when you add the user. This role contains these privileges and access levels...
Privilege | Access Level—Name |
|---|---|
Workflows | 3—Author |
Connections | 3—Author |
Datasets | 3—Author |
Plans | 3—Author |
Astuce
You can modify the Default role if you want to set a lower level of base access for each new user of the product. Note that you can't edit the Workflows privileges for the Default role. For more information, go to Présentation de l'autorisation.
Workspace AdminAdministrateur de l'espace de travail
This role provides super-user privileges to the assigned user.
Note
This role enables the user owner-level access to all objects in the project or workspace and access to all admin-level settings and configuration pages in the Admin Console. You shouldn't assign this role to many users. At least 1 user should always have this role.
Note
You can't modify or delete this role.
Application-Specific Roles
To access a specific application in AACAAC, a workspace user must have 1 application-specific role. A Workspace AdminAdministrateur de l'espace de travail or Account AdminAdministrateur du compte can provision application-specific roles to each user. To view the application-specific roles and their associated permissions, go to the Permissions Matrix.
Note
Where applicable, adding a role to a user that permits the user to access the application increments the seat count for the licensed application. If insufficient seats are available for the application, the role is not assigned.
Note
Roles and authentication for Auto Insights aren't governed by AACAAC.
