New, granular Permission to Schedule Data Flow

Maciej-GIT-Oracle

I would like to submit a feature request for a new granular permission in Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC):

• Schedule Data Flows: Permission to set up and edit schedules for data flows.

Context:
Currently, to allow users to schedule data flows, we are required to assign the DVContentAuthor role. However, this role includes additional permissions that we want to keep restricted for certain users. For example, we want users being a member of custom Author application role to be able to schedule data flows but not have access to other capabilities like creating Connections.

Similarly, OAC already provides a granular permission for workbooks:

• Schedule Workbooks: Permission to set up and edit schedules for workbooks.

Having a similar, dedicated permission for data flows would ensure better control and alignment with our security policies.

In general, this would allow administrators to grant scheduling capabilities for data flows without over-privileging users. I believe It aligns with the existing permission model and It would help maintain tighter access controls, which is critical for compliance and governance.

I believe this would greatly enhance the flexibility and security of OAC for many organizations.

Is the focus here on scheduling data flows specifically? There is already a permission for creating data flows — is that an option?
