DataLens roles

There are two types of roles in DataLens:

• For service access: These roles are assigned for an organization and grant access to DataLens.
• For workbooks and collections: These roles define the access level to each workbook or collection. They apply to users who switched to workbooks and collections to store their objects in DataLens.
