Field Data Catalog Links Permissions

There is no field-level permission for catalog links. Everything a user can do with a field's links is decided by their team permission on the datastore the field belongs to (through the field's container).

The full permission model lives at the datastore level

User roles, how the two permission layers combine, the Admin bypass, and who can start synchronizations are documented in Data Catalog Links Permissions at the datastore level. Everything there applies to fields unchanged.

Without the Editor Team Permission

The field's dialog opens read-only. The Link an asset, Change asset, and Unlink controls are hidden, and so is the hint pointing to the datastore-level synchronization. Manual and automatic links stay visible to anyone who can open the field; only changes are gated.
