Permissions control if an object (e.g. a data flow, schedule etc.) is visible to, or modifiable by specific users.

Note:

For normal creation of objects (e.g. policies, dataflows, schedules and store templates), the creating user is given Read/Write access, allowing that user to see and change the object. Users having the RBAC Override Ownership Permissions privilege can also see and edit the object. Nobody else will be able to view the object unless granted access.

Normal users (i.e. those without the RBAC Override Ownership Permissions privilege) are prevented from removing all permissions, although they can still remove their own access rights. Only users with the RBAC Override Ownership Permissions privilege can remove all permissions.

To edit the permissions for an object:

  1. Go to the Details or Inventory page of the object for which you want to edit the permissions.
  2. Click Edit Permissions in the top right of the page.
    The Access Control Permissions Inventory will be displayed, showing the users and groups that have read and write access to the object.
  3. You can then do one of the following:
    • Add a new user or group permission by clicking the Create New Item tile.
    • Edit an existing permission by clicking the user or group name on a tile.
    • Remove an existing permission by selecting a tile and clicking Remove.
    Editing does not allow the user or group name to be changed. To do this, remove the existing permission, then add a new one.
    When you edit or create a permission, the Access Control Permissions Inventory opens.
  4. For new permissions, Select the type of permission you require from the list on the left of the wizard:
    • User - to grant a single user permission
    • Group - to grant a group of users permission
    The parameters appropriate to the permission type selected are displayed on the right of the wizard.
  5. Check Write Access if you want the user or group to be able to modify the object. Read access is automatically granted to any user or group added to the permissions inventory for that object.
  6. Click Finish to close the wizard and return to the inventory.
