Setting Instance Level Permissions on an Asset

Use the following procedure to set instance-level permissions on an asset using CentraSite Control.

Important:

CentraSite Control does not allow you set permissions on an asset of type: REST Service, XML Service, Virtual REST Service, or Virtual XML Service.

1. Display the details page for the asset whose permissions you want to edit. If you need procedures for this step, Viewing Details for an Asset.

2. Open the Permissions profile.

3. To add users or groups to the Users and Groups list, do the following:

Note:

This button is only selectable if you have the Modify permission on the asset and also the Modify permission on the asset's Permission profile. For details, see Who Can Set Permissions on an Asset? and Restricting Access to Specific Profiles.

b. Select the users and groups to which you want to assign permissions.

If you want to filter the list, type a partial string in the Search field. CentraSite applies the filter to the Users/Groups column.

String	Description
b	Displays names that contain b
bar	Displays names that contain bar
%	Displays all users and groups

4. Use the View, Modify and Full check boxes to assign specific permissions to each user and/or group in the Users and Groups list as follows:

Permission	Allows the selected user or group to...
View	View the asset.
Modify	View and edit the asset.
Full	View, edit and delete the asset. This permission also allows the selected user or group to assign instance-level permissions to the asset.

5. When you assign instance-level permissions on an asset, the related objects (for example, bindings, operations, interfaces etc.) receive the same permissions that are assigned on the asset.

6. If you want to ensure that the asset's dependent objects (for example, a WSDL or schema) receive the same permissions, mark the checkbox Propagate permissions to dependent objects. If you do not mark this checkbox, the permissions of the dependent objects will not be modified.

In addition, you can ensure that the dependent objects of the same object type receive the same profile permissions. To do this, mark the checkbox Propagate profile permissions.
