To set permissions on an object, you must have Full permission on the object. You can use the CentraSite Control user interface to assign instance-level permissions to any of the types of objects listed above. Additionally, you can set permissions on the following types of objects using the CentraSite plug-in for Eclipse: assets, taxonomies, report templates and supporting documents.

Besides setting instance-level permissions through the user interface, you can create design/change-time policies to automate the assignment of instance-level permissions on certain types of objects (specifically, assets and policies). For example, you might use a design/change-time policy to automatically extend access to specified groups of consumers when an asset switches to the Deployed state.
