Only Data Managers have the ability to add a new instance
Step 2) Linking your new instance to a data profile
The best way to inform your team about the linked Collaboration Channel is to link it to all corresponding data assets.
If your collaboration channel is missing from the drop down options, contact a data manager to ask them to create a new instance first. Question: Can we expand this specific function to Data Users. To get around giving standard users access to the Platform Settings page, you can just add a button her to create instance as well
