Setting Instance Level Permissions on an Asset

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

1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page for the asset whose permissions you want to edit. If you need procedures for this step, see Displaying Details of an Asset.

Note:

If you do not see the Permissions action, it is probably because you do not have the Modify permission on that asset. See Who Can Set Permissions on an Asset? above for details.

3. In the Assign Permissions dialog box, select the users or groups to which you want to assign permissions.

If you want to select the users or groups using the typeahead option and you need procedures for this step, see Selecting Users or Groups Using Search Option.

If you want to select the users or groups using the browse option and you need procedures for this step, see Selecting Users or Groups Using Browse Option.

4. Use the View, Modify, and Full check boxes to assign specific permissions to each user and/or group in the User/Group Permissions 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, and so on) receive the same permissions that are assigned on the asset.

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

In addition, you can ensure that the dependent assets of the same object type receive the same profile permissions. To do this, mark the checkbox Propagate profile permissions. See Propagation of Permissions below for more information concerning propagation of permissions and propagation of profile permissions.

7. If at any time, you wish to remove one or more users' or groups' permissions, click the Delete icon.
