Managing access to virtual objects in Watson Query
Watson Query Managers can grant users access to virtual objects in Watson Query.
To grant access to virtual objects, you must assign roles to existing IBM® Cloud account users. For more information, see Managing roles for users in Watson Query.
Watson Query access control is not applied when data masking or row-level filtering applies to the preview in Watson™ services (other than Watson Query). The Watson Query internal access controls, which are controlled by using Manage access in the Watson Query UI, do not apply to the preview from the other Watson services with masking or row-level filtering. You must define your rules to manage access to the catalogs, projects, data assets, or connections for access control in the other Watson services.
The preview is subject to the data protection rules and catalog or project access control only.
Even though a user does not have access to query an object from Watson Query, they might be able to preview it in a catalog or project if they have access to that catalog or project the data asset.
