Adding reviewers for assets

If you are the lifecycle manager for a lifecycle, you can invite people to review an asset that is in a specific state. Reviewers can comment on and optionally modify or approve or reject assets that are in a certain state.

Before you begin

To modify the lifecycle for an asset, you must be a lifecycle manager. A community administrator can add you as a lifecycle manager for a lifecycle in a community.

About this task

Any changes that you make to the lifecycle configuration of an asset apply to this asset only; your changes do not apply to other assets that use the same lifecycle.

Procedure

  1. Find the asset on the repository by using the Asset Search view. You can search with any combination of keywords, filters, and tags. Your search results are displayed in the Assets view.
  2. To open the Asset Editor view for the asset, in the Assets view, double click the name of the asset.
  3. Click the Review tab.
  4. Click the Reviewers Reviewers icon icon. A window to search for users or user groups opens.

    5. Type any part of a user or user group name; then click the Search icon Search icon. Your search results are displayed below.
    6. Select one or more users or user groups and click OK.
    7. In the Lifecycle configuration window, modify the permissions for the users or user groups:
      • To allow a user or user group modify the asset while it is in this state, in the Allow editing column, select Yes.
      • To allow a user or user group approve or reject the asset while it is in this state, in the Review column, select Yes.
    8. To remove users or user groups, select a user or user group and then click Remove.
