Assign service permissions
 
Platform administrators have to grant permissions for each content-service on the platform, otherwise users will not be able to access service lists and/or publish content on the platform.

Moreover, so-called "standard" permissions can be defined. Standard permissions are used as a kind of recommendation during the publishing process. These recommendations are displayed in form of a pre-selection offered to users when it comes to assigning permissions during the publishing process.

Standard permissions have recently become less significant. If a fact is created in a folder, the permissions of the respective folder are automatically recommended during the publishing process. Standard permissions only apply if facts are published in the respective content-service.



In order to assign service permissions, proceed as follows:

|1| Choose "Services" from the main menu by clicking on it.

|2| Now, you see a list of all services which are available on your platform. Choose a service by clicking on the "perm."-button next to it.

|3| On the next page, all available user groups are displayed in rows. In the columns you see the permission settings. "read" stands for view, "write" for create and "modify" for edit.

You need to assign "access" and "standard" permissions for each service by clicking in the respective checkboxes.

read/write permissions (access):

"access + read" Defines whether a group has access to a service via the header. [Only applies to platforms with standard header.]
"access + write" Defines whether a group is allowed to create facts of this specific service.

recommendation for permissions for all facts of the service (standard):

"standard + read" As p-admin, you suggest that users of this group should be provided with read-permissions.
"standard + modify" As p-admin, you suggest that users of this group should be provided with modify-permissions.
