Individual asset permissions

Control of permissions for assets is normally restricted to senior site managers. If you are unable to access the Asset Rights Editor window please contact your administrator.

To edit permissions for an individual asset:

  1. Click on Asset View to display the asset tree.
  2. Right click the individual asset whose permissions you want to edit and select Permissions. The Asset Rights Editor window opens.
  3. If you want to place the asset into a different asset class select from the Asset class to configure drop-down list the asset class into which you want to place the asset. The page reloads. Click Apply class to this asset. The new asset class is displayed in Asset Properties at the top of the screen.
  4. If you want to create a new asset class into which to place this asset click New. Type the name of the new class in the New Asset Class Name box and click Create. The permissions table for the new asset class is displayed.

    An alternative way to create a new asset class is to copy an existing asset class by selecting the existing asset class in the drop-down and clicking the Copy button. The permissions for the new asset class are identical to that of the copied asset class and can be edited as required.
  5. If you want to change the permissions to assets in this class for a user group that is already associated with the class, find the user group on the table and click Edit.
    The tickboxes for the selected user group become 'live'. Tick or untick the boxes to set the permissions for this user group for this asset class and click Save.
  6. If you want to create permissions to assets in this class for a user group that is not in the table, scroll to the bottom of the table and select the user group from the drop-down list.
    Tick or untick the boxes to set the permissions for this user group for this asset class and click Add.
