Example: Removing the ability of auction administrators to close auction bidding

By default, auction administrators for a store can modify or delete auctions for the store, as well as close bidding. In certain cases, you may not want to grant auction administrators the authority to close bidding, either because you want this action handled by others or because you do not require this action for your store.

In this example, you will remove the authority of auction administrators to close bidding. To accomplish this change, you will do the following:

1. Determine the resource-level policy that defines the actions that auction administrators can take.

2. Determine the name of the action group for the policy.

3. Delete the action for closing auction bidding from the policy's action group.

1. Identify the resource-level policy to be changed. The policy is

3. For View, select Root Organization to display the policies that it owns.
