Security permissions

Note: We are transitioning Active Learning's functionality to Review Center. The Active Learning application will transition into a read-only application in November 2024. To prepare, we recommend beginning your new active learning projects in Review Center.

Starting on August 27, 2024, creating new Active Learning projects is disabled. Previously created projects are still fully functional.

This page contains information on the security permissions required for creating and interacting with an Active Learning project. For more information on setting permissions, see Workspace security.

Creating an Active Learning project

To create an Active Learning project, you need the following permissions:

Object Security Tab Visibility
  • Active Learning Project - View, Edit, Add
  • Active Learning Review - View, Edit, Add,
  • Active Learning Reviewer - View, Edit, Add
  • Analytics Categorization Result - View, Add
  • Analytics Categorization Set - View, Edit, Add
  • Analytics Categorization Set Build History - View
  • Analytics Index - View, Edit
  • Field - View, Edit, Add
  • Object Rule - View, Add
  • View - View, Add, Edit Security
  • Workspace - Edit Security
  • Active Learning Projects

Viewing and editing an Active Learning project

To view and edit an Active Learning project, you need the following permissions:

Note: It's not possible to have "view-only" Active Learning permissions. If you have permission to view but not edit an Active Learning project, you aren't able to view the project.

Object Security Tab Visibility
  • Active Learning Project - View, Edit
  • Active Learning Review - View, Edit, Add
  • Active Learning Reviewer - View, Edit
  • Analytics Categorization Set - View, Edit
  • Analytics Categorization Set Build History - View
  • Analytics Index - View
  • Active Learning Projects

Deleting an Active Learning project

In order to delete an Active Learning project, you need either workspace admin or system admin permissions. This will allow you to delete the view created by the project.

Managing trained models

To export a trained model from an Active Learning project, you need the following permissions:

Object Security Tab Visibility
  • Active Learning Project - View, Edit
  • Trained Model - View, Add
  • Active Learning Projects
  • Trained Models (only needed to view error details)

To share a trained model across workspaces, you need the following permissions for both the origin and the destination workspace:

Object Security Tab Visibility Mass Operation
  • Trained Model - View, Edit, Add
  • Trained Models
  • Share Trained Models

Note: If you are sharing a model with a category assigned to it, and that category does not yet exist in the target workspace, you need Choice – Add permissions in the target workspace for that category to be created.

To delete a trained model, you need the following permissions:

Object Security Tab Visibility Mass Operation
  • Trained Model - View, Edit, Delete
  • Trained Models
  • Delete

Reviewer permissions

The reviewer group accessing the Active Learning project must have the following permissions: 

Object Security Tab Visibility Other Settings
  • Active Learning Reviewer - View
  • Document - View, Edit
  • Documents
  • Browsers - None OR Folders and/or Field Tree and/or Clusters

Note: The users in this group are not automatically added to the Active Learning project. You must grant each individual access to the Review queue.

Other considerations for setting group permissions:

  • If the Browsers permission is set only to Advanced & Saved Searches, reviewers can't access the view for the review queues.
  • The review group must have access to all documents in the Active Learning project. If documents are not accessible (for example, documents stored in a secured folder) they are not served to reviewers in the queue.
  • You can add or remove users from the group at any time.
  • If you add a new reviewer to a group that is already tied to an Active Learning project, it may take some time for the change to synchronize with the project. If you still cannot grant the reviewer access after 24 hours, contact Product Support.

Resolving reviewer permissions warnings

If the reviewer group accessing an Active Learning project does not have the required permissions to review the documents in that project, a warning will appear in the notifications area Notifications area icon in the top-right corner of the Active Learning Project Home tab. To view the warning, click the notification icon.

The permissions warnings can be resolved as follows:

Permissions Warning Message Solution

User Group "Group Name" does not have Reviewer Object view permission.

Grant the user group View permissions on the Active Learning Reviewer Object. See Assigning object-level permissions.

User Group "Group Name" does not have Document Object edit permission. Grant the user group Edit permissions on the Document Object. See Assigning object-level permissions.
User Group "Group Name" may not have Document item level security or other security permissions.

Grant the user group Edit permissions to any documents within the Active Learning project which are individually secured or held in private folders.

To adjust access to individual documents or folders, see Relativity object security.
