More Granular Editor Permission in Data Assets

A business-specialist IKC user today cannot securely contribute to the catalog because, by granting them editor permissions, in addition to assigning glossary terms to columns and editing additional information, they can also alter the data classes defined via enrichment or profiling, which threatens the established masking rules.

What we would like is for the editor role, native to Data Assets permissions, to allow specifying what a group/user could edit in the data asset. Our idea is a pop-up to open when the editor role is selected to especify which permissions the group/user will have.

We understand that the catalog is the heart of the tool, and increasing the granularity of editing permissions on catalog data assets can make IKC more compatible with modern data strategies, such as Data Mesh.

We are attaching numbered images to illustrate what we are requesting and a text file with what we believe would be the possible granular positions. The selection would be multiple choice.
