**Capabilities**

* Full access to both metadata and data permissions within the connector.
* Grants object-level access permissions to roles and users.

### Governance Roles

Administrator or Connector Creator can assign governance roles, such as Steward, Custodian, Owner, and others, to data assets. Specific users or teams are selected for each role based on the data asset requirements.

To assign governance roles, administrators can use a drop-down list that shows all single users or teams from Security > Governance Roles.
