Launching the Permission Editor 
You can launch the Permission Editor in two ways:
· From the default system administrator role supplied by SAP, so that you can set permissions for all PCD objects, folders, portal components, security zones, business objects and resource bundles from a single user interface. This option opens the central Permission Editor.
· From the Portal Content Studio or other object-specific administration tool, enabling you to set permissions for specific objects for which you have owner permission. This option opens the object-specific Permission Editor, which allows administrators to set permissions for specific objects in their particular work area without requiring access to the central Permission Editor.
To launch the central Permission Editor:
...
1. Choose System Administration ® Permissions.
2. Locate the folder or object you want to assign or edit permissions for, right-click it and choose Open ® Permissions from the context menu.
To launch the object-specific Permission Editor:
...
1. Launch the relevant administration tool or editor in the portal.
2. In the Portal Catalog, locate the object or folder to want to set or edit permissions for. Then, doing one of the following:
¡ Right-click the object and choose Open ® Permissions from the context menu.
¡ Open the object in the editor, and from the Display menu or drop-down list, choose Permissions.
The Permission Editor displays the currently assigned permissions in the Assigned Permissions area of the editor. To assign or edit permissions, see Setting Permissions in the Permission Editor.

At the top of the editor, you may receive a message indicating permission inheritance, such as:
§ This object inherits its permissions from: <object name>
§ Permissions for this object were modified; the object no longer inherits permissions
For information about permission inheritance, see Permission Inheritance Model.
