Defining Permission OwnersLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You are a permission owner.

Context

Permission owners are users who are allowed to change permissions. They have the following special rights:

  • Change the permissions

  • Change the entries in the list of permission owners

  • Full access to the item

The system passes on the permission owners to subordinate items.

If you save the access permissions or service permissions for an item for the first time, the system enters your user as the permission owner and stops passing on the permissions automatically. We recommend that you specify more users as permission owners, who are then responsible for managing the permissions for this item.

Procedure


  1. Open the Details dialog box for the item (for example, for the folder).

  2. Navigate to the relevant permission dialog by choosing Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Permissions End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Service Permissions End of the navigation path.

  3. Open the Permission Owners tab page.

  4. Enter users, groups, or roles.
