Authorization Inheritance 

Use

You can either assign authorizations directly to a user or the user inherits them from parent business objects. Authorizations that are directly assigned always override inherited authorizations. The following hierarchy is used to determine authorization inheritance:

●      Portfolio ® Bucket

●      Bucket ® Bucket

●      Bucket ® Item

●      Bucket ® Review

●      Bucket ® Collection

●      Item ® Decision Point

●      Bucket ® Initiative

●      Initiative  ® Decision Point

●      Initiative ® Phase

●      Initiative ® Item of Initiative
