Adding User or Group Permissions for a Repository Item

You can change access permissions on an item from the PowerDesigner Portal.

1. Click the object in the repository explorer to display its property sheet, and then click the Permissions tab.
2. Click Add to open a selection box listing all the available users and groups.
3. Select one or more users and groups, selecting the appropriate permission for each from the drop down list box in the Granted Permission column. The following permissions are available:

   • List - View the document or folder in the browser and in search results, and display read-only property sheets. Users who do not have even this permission on an item cannot see it in the repository Browser.

   • Read - Additionally compare documents, and check documents out from the repository.

   • Submit - Additionally check the document into a changelist for review by a user with Write permission.

   • Write - Additionally check in (with or without a changelist), freeze, and lock document versions.

   • Full - Additionally manage permissions granted to users or groups and remove locks on documents.

4. [optional – for projects, folders, models] Select Cascade permission changes to folder contents to apply your changes to children of the node.
5. Click Save to save your changes and return to the Permissions tab.

   The Granted Permission column shows the permissions explicitly granted to groups and users, and Effective Permission column displays their actual permissions, the most extensive permission granted either explicitly or by way of membership in a group.
