With the Syntasa 9.1 release, user access management has been enhanced with a structured Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model.
This update introduces:
Consolidated roles
Module-based access
Permission inheritance (create vs non-create)
Enhanced sharing and override capabilities
Prior to 9.1, Syntasa supported the following roles:
- Syntasa Admin
- Administrator
- Composer
- Synthesizer
- Orchestrator
- Dashboards Viewer
These roles were primarily function-based, where multiple roles often had intersecting responsibilities across the platform.
Updated Roles (9.1)
In 9.1, roles have been restructured to provide clearer ownership and streamlined access management.
Unchanged Roles
The following roles remain unchanged to maintain continuity for platform-level administration and dashboard access:
Syntasa Admin
Dashboards Viewer
Renamed / Consolidated Roles
Several legacy roles have been merged into a single unified role to eliminate overlap and simplify role assignment:
Administrator → DataAI Admin
Composer → DataAI Admin
Synthesizer → DataAI Admin
Orchestrator → DataAI Admin
So, user can see following roles from 9.1 release:
System Admin
- DataAI Admin
- DataAI User
- DonorAI Admin
- DonorAI User
- CCDP Admin
- CCDP User
- Audience Admin
- Audience User
- Dashboards Viewer
- Dashboards User
Create vs Non-Create Access for Roles
In Syntasa 9.1, roles are no longer limited to just module access. Each role also determines whether a user can create components (e.g., connections, apps, processes) or only view/use existing components.
This means:
Access to a module ≠ ability to create within that module
Create permissions are inherited as part of the role
-
Each role carries:
Access scope
Create capability (enabled or restricted)
Multiple Roles per User
Syntasa allows assigning multiple roles to a single user, enabling flexible access across different modules. For example, a user can be assigned both CCDP Admin and Audience User roles. In this case, the user will have access to both the CCDP and Audience modules.
