Primo VE: Need for new ‘Discovery Manager’ roles
Create Discovery Manager roles and give customers the possibility to assign Discovery roles to colleagues who are in charge of specific content updates in the front end (notably Tag management, Resource Recommender management, Primo Central Index activations/deactivations) and who are not necessarily Primo administrators. For more flexibility and granularity, different roles (or parameters to add?) should be created. For example, a staff user in charge of Resource Recommender management should not necessarily have access to PCI activations.
Subject and reference librarians could directly work in Alma in order to keep recommended resources, tags and PCI collections updated; tasks where traditional Primo administrator skills are not required. Currently, a single 'Discovery – Admin’ role concentrates too many responsibilities and functionalities.

Thank you for posting this idea. with the new Primo VE August 2021 release , we have added two new Discovery roles – View Management Role and Discovery Operator Limited – to cover the needs raised in this idea. More details can be found in the Release notes

Agree - the discovery management role is not granular enough and creates a bottleneck when it comes to tasks that don't need to be done by a discovery / systems administrator, especially for Resource Recommender.

Would love the ability to let out collection development folks handle recommended resources without giving them access to the whole of discovery config.
