The following table provides permissions and descriptions for basic actions in the Data Sources page. For detailed information on creating data sources, see Creating data sources with the Web UI and How to create a data source in the Web UI.
Note: With the appropriate permissions, administrators can view data sources owned by other users through the Web UI. However, administrators cannot create, modify, delete, or share data sources owned by other users through the Web UI. To create, modify, delete, or share data sources that belong to other users, administrators must use Hybrid Data Pipeline APIs. See Data Sources API and Managing resources on behalf of users for further details.
