Set resource permissions

Assign and control access for different types of resources. The Resource Permissions portlet allows us to:

• Control whether or not a resource propagates or inherits its role assignments through the resource hierarchy

• Assign roles explicitly to specific users and groups

• Place resources under the control of an external security manager or bring back externalized resources under the control of HCL WebSphere Portal

• Create or delete roles on externalized resources
• View inherited role assignments for specific users and groups

See the Resource Permissions portlet help for detailed instructions on setting resource permissions.

Access the Resource Permissions portlet from the administration menu. Click the Administration menu icon. Then, click Access > Resource Permissions. From there, we select the resource type that we want to work with, an example is Pages. An Assign Access icon is available for each page listed.
