Mining Model Role Manager

Use this tool to create, edit, and maintain mining model roles.

A mining model role applies to only a single model. A role is created when you assign a role to a mining model by selecting the role in Mining Model Role Manager. This grants the role's users access to the model. The name and default values of a model role are derived from the database role with the same name.

In Mining Model Role Manager, each row whose check box is selected in the list displays a role. Users in these roles can access the model whose name appears in the title bar. These roles can be maintained within Mining Model Role Manager.

Each unchecked row displays a role not assigned to the mining model. Only users who are members of the selected roles can access the model.

To grant users in a database role access to the model, select the check box beside the role. To assign a role to the mining model, select the check box beside the role. This creates a mining model role with the same name as the database role.

The roles assigned to the model are listed first, followed by the roles that are not assigned to mining models (that is, the remaining database roles). Each category is sorted alphabetically by the role names in the Role column.

Mining Model Role Manager appears when, in the Analysis Manager tree pane, you right-click either a mining model roles icon or a mining model icon, and then click Manage Roles.
