Adobe-built and partner-built sources
Some of the connectors in the Experience Platform sources catalog are built and maintained by Adobe, while others are built and maintained by partner companies by using Sources SDK. A note at the top of the documentation page for each partner-built connector calls out if a source is created and maintained by the partner. For example, the Amazon S3 connector is created by Adobe, while the RainFocus connector is created and maintained by the RainFocus team.
For partner-authored and maintained connectors, this means that issues with the connector might need to be resolved by the partner team (contact method provided in the note in the documentation page). For issues with Adobe-authored and maintained connectors, contact your Adobe representative or Customer Care.

Access control for sources in data ingestion
Permissions for sources in data ingestion can be managed within the Adobe Admin Console. You can access permissions through the Permissions tab in a particular product profile. From the Edit Permissions panel, you can access the permissions pertaining to sources through the data ingestion menu entry. The View Sources permission grants read-only access to available sources in the Catalog tab and authenticated sources in the Browse tab, while the Manage Sources permission grants full access to read, create, edit, and disable sources.
The following table outlines how the UI behaves based on different combinations of these permissions:
| Permission level | Description |
|---|---|
| View Sources On | Grant read-only access to sources in each source-type in the Catalog tab, as well as the Browse, Accounts, and Dataflow tabs. |
| Manage Sources On | In addition to the functions included in View Sources, grants access to Connect Source option in Catalog and to Select Data option in Browse. Manage Sources also allows you to enable or disable DataFlows and edit their schedules. |
| View Sources Off and Manage Sources Off | Revoke all access to sources. |
For more information about the available permissions granted through Adobe Permissions, read the access control overview.
Attribute-based access control
Attribute-based access control in Adobe Experience Platform allows administrators to control access to specific objects and/or capabilities based on attributes.
With attribute-based access control, you can apply mapping configurations to fields that you have permissions to. Furthermore, you cannot ingest data to a dataset if you do not have access to all fields in the dataset.
Support for attribute-based access control in sources
TIP- Apply labels to schema fields to define access to specific schema fields in your organization. Once access to specific schema fields are established, users will only be able to create mappings for the fields that they have access to.
- Users without the appropriate roles will not be able to create or update dataflows with mappings that involve inaccessible schema fields. Furthermore, unauthorized users cannot update, delete, enable, or disable existing dataflows with inaccessible schema fields.
- Additionally, a dataflow must have the exact same schema ID and version in its mapping, target dataset, and target connection.
For more information on attribute-based access control, read the attribute-based access control overview.
