Before a permission set is saved, it is validated as follows:
New accessors (users or groups) for permissions are evaluated to confirm that they belong to all of the required groups and at least one of the groups listed in the required group set.
New accessors for restrictions are evaluated to confirm that they belong to all of the required groups and at least one of the groups listed in the required group set.
When new groups are added to a required group list, all accessors listed for both permissions and restrictions are evaluated and any accessors who do not belong to the newly added groups are flagged.
When new groups are added to a required group set list, all accessors listed for both permissions and restrictions are evaluated and any accessors who do not belong to the newly added groups are flagged.
When a user accesses the permissions tab in this application:
Accessors currently listed for both permissions and restrictions are evaluated.
Accessors who do not belong to all the groups in the required groups list and to at least one of the groups in the required group set are flagged.
To create a new permission set:
In the Classic view’s left pane, navigate to Administration/Security.
Click File>New>New Permission Set.
Type the name of the permission set.
Type a description of the permission set.
Indicate who owns the permission set.
If you are connected as a superuser or the repository owner, you can change who owns the permission set.
If you are connected with user privileges other than superuser or the repository owner, you are the owner.
From the list, select a class for the permission set.
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 and deleted only by the permission set owner (the user or group that creates it), 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.
Click Next.
The Permissions tab is displayed.
To edit the Permissions tab, go to Editing permissions in the Permissions tab.
