Folder Permissions

Entities are stored in folders. As security experts, system administrators assign users and user groups the rights they have on the entities stored in a specific folder. The following permissions can be set per folder:

• Read

  Right to access a folder and view its entities. You must consider certain dependencies. Users with read permissions on a top-level entity can see its sub-entities too.

• Use

  Right to refer to the entities in this folder from other entities

• Write

  Right to change the entities in this folder

• Delete

  Right to delete the entities in this folder

• Execute

  Right to use the entities in this folder when executing Workflows

The following entities are stored in dedicated folders:

• Application
• Component
• Deployment Profile
• Deployment Target
• Environment
• Environment Reservation
• Login
• Package
• Queue
• Workflow (Application and General)

The folder permissions are managed on the Folder Authorizations page of a user or user group definition by an administrator. See Granting Release Automation Folder Authorizations.
