Setting Permissions on Taxonomy

API Management 10.4 | Using CentraSite | Taxonomy Management | Managing Taxonomies through CentraSite Control | Setting Permissions on Taxonomy

You can access this page only if you have the Use the Administration UI permission in CentraSite. Also, you can view a list of taxonomy only if you have the Manage Taxonomies permission.

Note: This functionality applicable only to CentraSite Control has been marked as deprecated and is removed in a future release.

All CentraSite users are permitted to view the taxonomies that you create. However, only you (as the owner of the taxonomy) and users who belong to a role with the Manage Taxonomies permission are allowed to modify or delete these taxonomies. To enable other users to modify and delete a taxonomy that you have created, you must modify the taxonomy's instance-level permission settings.

The following general guidelines apply when setting permissions on taxonomies:

You can assign permissions to any individual user or group defined in CentraSite.

The groups to which you can assign permissions include the following system-defined groups:

Group Name	Description
Users	All users within a specified organization.
Members	All users within a specified organization and its child organizations.
Everyone	All users of all organizations and child organizations, including guest users (if your CentraSite permits access by guests).

If a user is affected by multiple permission assignments, the user receives the union of all the assignments. For example, if group ABC has Modify permission on a taxonomy and group XYZ has Full permission on the same taxonomy, users that belong to both groups will, in effect, receive Full permission on that taxonomy.

If you have assigned users the Modify or Full permission on a taxonomy and you want them to be able to manage (modify or delete) the template in CentraSite Control, ensure that the users have Use the Administration UI permission.

To assign permissions to a taxonomy

1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Taxonomies.

2. Right-click a taxonomy you want to assign the user and group permissions, and click Details.

3. In the Edit Taxonomy page, click the Permissions tab.

4. In the Permissions tab, click Add Users/Groups.

5. In the Add Users/Groups dialog box, select one or more users and groups to which you want to assign permissions.

6. To filter the list, type a partial string in the Search text box.

7. 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.

8. In the Permissions tab, assign specific permissions to each user and group in the Users/Groups list as follows:

Permission	Allows the selected user or group to...
View	View the taxonomy. Note: Disabling this permission does not prevent a user from accessing the taxonomy. CentraSite implicitly grants users view permission on all taxonomies. The implicit permission granted by CentraSite is not revoked by disabling the View permission on this tab.
Modify	View and edit the taxonomy.
Full	View, edit, and delete the taxonomy. This permission also allows the selected user or group to assign instance-level permissions to the taxonomy.

9. Click Save.
