Editing group permissions

Before you begin

You require Permission Management rights for the Folder, Structure Group, or Category, and Write permissions for the containing organizational item to modify permissions.

You can modify permissions for local items and local copies of organizational items. It is not possible to edit a shared item.

About this task

You can edit permission settings for Folders, Structure Groups, and Categories. When you edit permissions, you modify the Read, Write, Localize, or Delete permissions that a user or a group has for items within the organizational item. In a Blueprint Parent Publication, these permissions are shared to Child Publications.

To edit permissions on an organizational item:

Procedure

  1. In Content Manager Explorer, navigate to the item for which you want to edit permissions.
  2. In the list view, select an item, and click the Open button on the toolbar.
  3. Click the Security tab.
  4. To modify permissions:
    • Select a user or group listed in the Users and Groups pane.
    • Check or uncheck the permissions listed in the Permissions pane.
  5. To explicitly deny permissions:
    • Click the Exceptions button.
    • In the Exceptions pane, select a user or group.
    • Modify the permissions for the user or group to explicitly deny one or more permissions.
  6. Click the Save and Close button on the toolbar.

Results

The Content Manager modifies the permissions for the organizational item. Users and groups can create, edit, view, localize, or delete items according to the permissions assigned to them or to the group to which they are a member.
