1. Set usage permissions

You can set usage permissions to use Data Catalog. Data Catalog permissions are defined by mapping "roles" to "sub accounts" issued by NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account. Thus, you need to first create sub accounts other than your main account through Sub Account.

You can use sub accounts provided by Sub Account to configure admin permissions and user permissions of Data Catalog. You can refer to the following guide(s):

• Managing Data Catalog permissions
• Sub Account guide

4. Search metadata

Search and check metadata stored in database and tables. You can enhance data accessibility by adding tags to database and tables. You can create your own tag templates or save and use the provided templates. You can refer to the following guide(s):
