# Abilities

### Asset abilities

These abilities relate to database, connections, folders and models. These are the core abilities. They are combined with an asset to construct a full ability. For instance, connection-create which would enable a user to create new connections.

<table><thead><tr><th width="147">Name</th><th>Ability</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>view</td><td>The user can see that the assist exists but can't edit it, refresh, delete or anything other than seeing it's existence</td></tr><tr><td>create</td><td>The user can create new assets</td></tr><tr><td>manage</td><td>The user can set new and edit permissions on an asset</td></tr><tr><td>credentials</td><td>The user can view database username and password credentials (<strong>only database</strong>)</td></tr><tr><td>whitelist</td><td>The user can create new whitelisting rules (<strong>only database</strong>)</td></tr><tr><td>delete</td><td>The user can delete an asset</td></tr><tr><td>edit</td><td>The user can move or rename a folder, and <strong>create assets in the folder</strong> (<strong>folder only</strong>)</td></tr><tr><td>tables</td><td>The user can use the tables that are outputted from an asset, e.g. in a model</td></tr><tr><td>download</td><td>The user can download tables as .csv-files</td></tr><tr><td>execute</td><td>The user can manually refresh assets</td></tr><tr><td>update</td><td>The user can change the name, configuration, update frequency of an asset</td></tr><tr><td>task</td><td>The user can see logs of an assets</td></tr><tr><td>versions</td><td>The user can see versions of an assets (only model)</td></tr></tbody></table>
