Role-based access control - MDM tenant configuration

Learn how to set up your MDM tenant to view RDM lookup values according to RDM permissions

Set up your MDM tenant to view RDM lookups and canonical values per role-based access control (RBAC) permissions.

Please contact Reltio Support to enable:

  • MDM Tenant Linkage: The MDM tenant must be linked with the RDM tenant.

  • RDM User Access Security: The MDM tenant needs to adhere to the RBAC configuration.

Important: If you have Support enable RDM user access security in your MDM tenant but do not configure RBAC in the RDM tenant, then users won't have access to RDM lookup values.
After setting this configuration:
  • MDM UI:
    • Users only see the RDM values according to their roles' access.

    • All values linked with RDM lookups continue to be transcoded as before, ensuring profile consistency across all users.

  • MDM API:
    • API requests for getting RDM values will be made to the RDM API with user permissions. This requires that all MDM tenant users have Reltio permissions to the RDM API endpoint (at least read permissions for RDM tenant lookups). These permissions are required only for MDM-RDM communication and are not related to metadata/data security.

A tenant administrator can assign the ROLE_RDM for the RDM tenant to an MDM user. In this case, the MDM user can see permitted lookup values in the dropdown box in the UI and also request them directly via MDM API endpoints.
