How to Define Personas

What is a Persona?

In OpenMetadata, a persona represents an organization's specific role or function, such as a data engineer, data steward, or data scientist. Personas define how the user interacts with the platform by tailoring the interface and functionality to their role.

Example:

• A data engineer might focus on pipelines and data quality.
• A data steward is more concerned with governance and glossary management.

Steps to Define a Persona:

1. As an administrator, navigate to Settings > Team & User Management > Persona settings in OpenMetadata.
