Create or edit a permission set

To create or edit a permission set:

  3. Enter or edit the name of the permission set.

  4. To change who owns the permission set, click Select Owner, select the new owner, and click OK. For detailed steps see Locate an item in a selection dialog box.

  5. In the Class field, select one of these:

    • Regular

      The permission set can be used only by the user or group that creates it. Any user or group in the repository except the repository owner can create a regular permission set.

    • Public

      The permission set can be used by anyone in a repository. Any user or group in the repository can create a public permission set. Public permission sets can be modified or deleted only by the permission set owner, a superuser, a system administrator, or the repository owner. If the repository owner is the owner of a particular permission set, it is called a system permission set.

  6. Click Next to open the Permissions tab.

    By default, a permission set includes the dm_owner user, and the dm_world group. The dm_owner user is the user who is the owner of the permission set. The dm_world group is the group that contains all repository users.

  7. To edit the Permissions tab, see Edit permissions.
