Communities, Permissions & Scope
As you know ..
A Community is a custom role that is used to fine-tune access to specific actions or Data Catalog assets. For example, you can use a community to restrict access for a group of users to a subset of glossaries and data sources.
The AdventureWorks2022 database contains multiple schemas representing different business domains:
HumanResources: Employee data, departments, payroll
Sales: Orders, customers, territories, sales staff
Production: Products, inventory, manufacturing
Purchasing: Vendors, purchase orders, procurement
Person: Contact information, addresses, demographics
