Rights and Permissions for Users and Groups
Rights define the types of tasks that Users or User Groups can perform for a specific Publication. Permissions are settings placed on Folders, Structure Groups and Categories that define the actions Users or User Groups can perform on items for which they have the necessary Rights.

- Rights define the types of tasks that users or groups can perform for a specific Publication. You assign rights to users or groups for an entire Publication. For example: to manipulate Components users require Component Management rights, to manipulate Schemas users require Schema Management rights.

Permission settings determine what a User or User Group can do on items for which they have rights within an organizational item:
- Read—the user or group can view items
- Write—the user or group can create or edit items
- Delete—the user or group can delete items
- Localize—the user or group can create local copies of shared BluePrint items
The combination of the rights and permissions assigned to users or groups determine the actions that users can perform on items. For example, to create a Component, a user requires Component Management rights and write permissions for a Folder in which they can create the Component.
