The 2023 release of CData Sync includes several updates to continue to improve the enterprise experience for Sync users and administrators. In this post, we’ll highlight and provide details on the latest feature updates.

## User management and roles

CData Sync supports three types of users (roles):

### Administrator role

The **Administrator (Admin)** role provides full control over the application. The first user created in Sync defaults to this role.

**Admin** users can create new jobs and connections, change application settings, and perform every other operation supported by the console. In addition, only admins can view the Audit log, which records changes that are made within the application (by any user).

### Standard role

The **Standard** role allows for the creation, editing, and deletion of jobs and connections, but it does **not** allow for changing application-wide settings like those that appear on the **Settings** tab.

### Job creator role

The **Job**  **creator** role allows users to create, edit, and delete jobs and transformations, but it does **not** allow access to connections and does not allow for changing application-wide settings.

### Job operator role

The **Job operator** role is a read-only role that enables user to start and stop jobs, view job history, and download job logs. These users **cannot** create new jobs, delete jobs, or change application settings.

**User roles comparison**

| Operation | Admin | Standard | Job Creator | Job Operator |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| View connections, jobs, and transformations | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| View application and job-execution logs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Execute jobs and transformations | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Manage jobs and transformations | Yes | Yes | Yes | |

| Install new connectors | Yes | Yes | | |
| Manage users | Yes | | | |

### User creation and management

To create and manage further users, navigate to **Settings \> Users**. The **Users** tab includes a table of users that are defined and includes information about the users’ roles, Sync API access tokens, and more.

Only **Admin** users have permission to manage other users. **Admin** users can create, delete, and modify users.

## Labels

Labels can be used to help CData Sync users organize their **Connections** , **Jobs** , and **Transformations**.

### Applying a label

1. Highlight the connection, job, or transformation
2. Click the ellipsis (…) and click Add Labels
3. Create a new label and choose an existing one

With a label added, users can apply filters to their interface based on the labels along with types, statuses, sources, and destinations.

## Saved filters

Users can now filter their **Connections** , **Jobs** , and **Transformations**. Saved filters allow users to easily manipulate their view into CData Sync, organizing the interface based on job or transformation type, job or transformation status, data source or destination, and label.

### Saving a filter

1. Click the Filter icon on the appropriate page and select the filters
2. Click Saved Filters and click Add Saved Filter
3. Name the filter and click Add Saved Filter

With a filter saved, users can change the way they navigate through CData Sync and focus on specific tasks and connections.

## Cloned connections and jobs

Cloned connections and jobs allow CData Sync users to take advantage of previously performed configurations, quickly setting up connections to related sources and destinations and replication jobs with minor modifications.

2. Enter a name for the new connection and click **Clone Connection**.  

Once completed, the cloned connection is displayed in the connection table on the **Connections** page. Edit the connection to modify it as needed for the new source/destination.
