Editing group rights

Before you begin

A system administrator can add a group to the Content Manager, edit a group, and edit group rights within a Publication.

A user with Publication Management and Permission Management rights can add or edit a group and can edit group rights.

About this task

Edit group rights to modify the rights that a group has. You can both grant a user permissions, and create exceptions to those permissions.

If you set a permission to Deny within an exception, then the user or group does not have the permission, regardless of other settings.

Procedure

  1. To edit group rights, in Content Manager Explorer, click the SDL Tridion icon to display a list of Publications in the list view.
  2. Select a Publication from the list view and click the Open button on the toolbar.
  3. Click the Security tab.
  4. To change the rights of a group or user:
    • Select a user or group to view the related rights.
    • In the Rights pane, select the rights you want to associate with the selected user or group.
  5. To deny a group permissions regardless of permissions assigned elsewhere:
    • Click Show exceptions. A new pane appears.
    • Select a user or group to view the related deny permissions.
    • Select the permissions you want to deny with the selected group from the Permissions pane.
  6. After you have finished setting the applicable permissions for each group, click the Save and Close button on the toolbar.

Results

The group rights are modified. Users that are members of the group are now subject to the rights specified by the group.
