Drafter
The Drafter permission is designed for users who need to create and prepare quality checks without the ability to activate them. Drafters write and save checks as drafts, which can then be reviewed and activated by users with Author or Editor permissions.
Who Should Have Drafter Access?
Drafter is designed for junior data quality analysts and contributors who need to:
- Create new quality checks as drafts on assigned datastores
- Save checks as drafts for review before activation
- Run a Dry Run on a check to test its logic before activation
- Set the Owner and Default Anomaly Assignee when authoring a draft check
- Assign tags to assets on assigned datastores
- Preview datastore content and view profiles
Tip
Drafter is ideal for teams that follow a review workflow; drafters create checks, and authors or editors review and activate them.
Includes
Drafter includes all capabilities of Viewer and Reporter.

¹ Drafters can only set these fields while creating a draft check. See the Drafters and check fields note below for the full rule.
Drafters and check fields
Drafters can set Owner and Default Anomaly Assignee only while creating a draft check. Once the check is activated, modifying these fields requires Author or Editor permission.
Note
Drafters cannot activate checks via the Validate action. Created checks remain in Draft status until an Author or Editor activates them.
Dry Run and Masked Fields
Drafters can run a Dry Run, but the Show masked values toggle is only visible to the Editor role. When a Drafter runs a Dry Run on a check that targets masked fields, those values stay masked in the results.
