Administrators can delegate asset-level permission requests
to a particular user or a lifecycle manager. Administrators might
delegate requests when other users are the more appropriate people
to decide whether to grant access approval.
About this task
If you decide to delegate all permission requests to lifecycle
managers, complete this task. You can also delegate requests on an
individual basis instead of delegating all requests. When a user requests
permission to an asset, a task is created on your dashboard. In the
row for the task, click
Delegate and select
a user to delegate the request to. If the Delegate link is not available,
there are no lifecycle managers or users with adequate permission
to handle permission requests for this asset.
Procedure
To delegate all permissions requests to lifecycle managers:
- Select Administration, and then
click Communities.
- Select a community.
- Click the Lifecycles tab.
- Select a lifecycle.
- In the Lifecycle Managers section of the General Settings
page, select Lifecycle managers handle all asset permission
requests. Permissions requests are delegated
to users in order of this priority:
- Users who have been given Grant Access permission
in the Explicit Permissions page for the asset
- Lifecycle managers for this lifecycle
- Community administrators
Results
When tasks are delegated, new tasks are created for the appropriate
users on their dashboards. Users can click
Grant read access or
Grant
read and download access to grant permission.
