Setting Permissions on Lifecycle State
You can set permissions on each state of a lifecycle model by using the Edit Lifecycle Model page. You can access this page only if you have the Manage Lifecycle Models permission or at least have the instance-level Modify permission for a particular lifecycle state in CentraSite.
You define the user and group permissions associated with each state of the lifecycle model. Each permission defines whether a user or group can move assets into a particular lifecycle state. Such permissions are referred to as state permissions.
If you leave the list of users and groups empty, CentraSite grants state permissions to all users and groups. If the list contains at least one user or group, permissions are denied for all other users and groups who are not in the list.
To assign permissions on a lifecycle state
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Lifecycles > Models.
2. Right-click a lifecycle model you want to assign the user and group permissions, and click Details.
3. In the Edit Lifecycle Model page, click the State Permissions tab.
4. In the State Permissions tab, click the Add Users/Groups button.
5. In the Add Users/Groups dialog box, perform the following:
a. To filter the list of users and groups, type a partial string in the Search text box.
b. Select one or multiple users and groups for whom you wish to grant or deny permission to change the lifecycle state of an asset.
c. Click OK.
CentraSite applies the filter to the Name column.
Examples
String | Description |
b | Displays names that contain b. |
bar | Displays names that contain bar. |
% | Displays all users and groups. |
d. Select one or more states into which the user or group is allowed to move an asset. You can either select the check boxes for the states individually, or select them all by selecting the corresponding check box in the ALL column. To cancel the selection of a state, clear the corresponding checkbox.
Note that there is no column corresponding to the initial state of an asset, because all assets under control of this lifecycle model are automatically put into the initial state.
6. Click Save.
CentraSite validates the updated lifecycle model.
If there are no validation errors, the lifecycle model is updated in the CentraSite registry or repository. If any part of the model is invalid, this is indicated by an appropriate error message.
