Dataset viewing

Question

Summary

Is it possible for administrators to see the contents of uploaded datasets

Content

Users can upload a dataset into DV and it remains private, but I would like admins to see the data that is held in the system - does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks Prasanna

That Enhancement request is exactly what we need.

Also, All round we need better granularity on permissions - we don't want all users to be able to create competing data on the official platform

I should have been clearer in  my question - "apart from users giving you access, how can Admin see the datasets that are created, including their contents" would have been a better way for me to put it:)

Hi Adrian, i may have misunderstood your question, i was trying to answer the one one one access, is what i thought you were asking.  Yes agree with Christian Berg, that functionality for Admin to have all privileges to DV objects at the time of creation by any user, is currently not available.Hopefully in the very near future releases.

With that said, we do have an Enhancement request for Oracle (without an ETA), on why an Admin does not have inclusive privileges on all DV objects without a need to grant one on one. (Enh 28833630 - ABILITY TO ASSIGN PERMISSIONS TO NEWLY CREATED DV OBJECTS, related SR 3-18558338701 : Unable to see other connections/datasets/projects by other users as ADMIN).

Note: In relation to my detailed explanation, I noticed not all user in this forums are experienced, in the past, one liner answers were not sufficient as some did not know where to navigate. Hence, the detailed explanation. :)

Thanks,

Prasanna

HI

Yes I do mean viewing the data.

I know your response is well intentioned, but I don't think you need to waste your time replying with the basics that is already obvious to all users of the DV app.

What I think this forum should be for is the stuff that is not so obvious, perhaps nuggets that are either hidden in documents or people have experienced elsewhere and had oracle support

many thanks anyway
