User permissions can only be changed by your Dynatrace administrator in Account Management > Identity and Access Management. To learn more about user groups and assigning permissions, see Working with policies.
Enable or edit Anomaly Detection authorization settings
Before you attempt to run or create an anomaly detector, make sure that you have all the required permissions in Account Management. If you're running Davis Anomaly Detection for the first time, you'll need to enable authorization settings.
To enable or edit Anomaly Detection authorization settings
In Davis Anomaly Detection, go to Settings > Authorization settings.
Select the required permissions in the Permissions list.

Learning modules
Go through the following processes to learn how to use Davis Anomaly Detection:
Every execution of Anomaly Detector is performed in the context of a user. If you're an administrator or have permission to use a predefined service user, you'll see two types of users you can choose when creating or editing an anomaly detector: actor and service user. Otherwise, you'll be the only visible actor.
Actor
An actor is the user used to execute the Anomaly Detector. Unless you have administrator rights or permission to use a predefined service user, you'll only have the option to set yourself as an actor for either a new or updated anomaly detector configuration.
If you edit an existing anomaly detector created by a different actor, Dynatrace will treat the modified configuration as a new anomaly detector with permission profiles of a new actor.
Service user
We recommend using service users as actors for anomaly detectors created for a department or organization use case. This makes the anomaly detector independent of the status of the user who maintains it.
There are no specific authorization settings for a service user. The permissions granted to a service user should follow the least privilege principle. To learn more about managing service users, see Service users.
