Add Platform Users
Note: This section is for users with Account Administrator access to an Actian Data Platform account. For more information, see User Roles.
IMPORTANT! Beginning with the January 2022 release, user access to the Actian Data Platform has changed. If you were not previously an Account Administrator, you can still log in but will have no access to warehouses or other features. (Your user status defaults to No Role.)

Service Unavailable 403
Insufficient privilege to perform requested operation.
After your Account Administrator assigns a role to you, you must log out of the console and log back in to enable your new role assignment (see Log Out and Log In).
