CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite Administrator’s Guide : Taxonomies : Setting Permissions on a Taxonomy
Setting Permissions on a Taxonomy
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/or delete a taxonomy that you have created, you must modify the taxonomy's instance-level permission settings.
The following procedure describes how to set permissions on a taxonomy. When setting permissions on taxonomies, keep the following points in mind:
*To set permissions on a taxonomy, you must belong to a role that has the Manage Taxonomies permission or have the Full instance-level permission on the taxonomy itself.
*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 has multiple permission assignments, the user receives the union of all the assignments. For example, if group A has Modify permission on a taxonomy and group B has Full permission on the same taxonomy, users that belong to both groups will, in effect, receive Full permission on the taxonomy.
To assign permissions to a taxonomy
1. Display the details page for the taxonomy whose permissions you want to edit. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing or Editing the Properties of a Taxonomy.
2. In the Edit Taxonomy page, select the Permissions tab.
3. To add users or groups to the Users/Groups list, do the following:
a. Click Add Users/Groups.
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 User/Group column.
Examples
String
Description
b
Displays names that contain b.
bar
Displays names that contain bar.
%
Displays all users and groups.
c. Click OK.
4. Use the View, Modify, and Full check boxes to 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 will 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.
5. Click Save to save the new permission settings.
Note:  
If you have given users Modify or Full permission on the taxonomy, and you want them to be able to work with the taxonomy in CentraSite Control, be sure the users belong to a role that has the Use the Administration UI permission.
