Set user and group permissions

The User and Group Permissions portlet lets you view and modify the roles that users and groups have on resources.

The User and Group Permissions portlet indicates whether roles are:

• Explicitly assigned
• Implicitly acquired through group membership
• Inherited through the resource hierarchy

Roles for virtual resources: Resource types have predefined sets of applicable roles. We can assign access to all roles, including the Can Run As User role, for the following virtual resources:

• CONTENT_MAPPINGS
• DESIGNER DEPLOY SERVICE
• EVENT HANDLERS
• MARKUPS
• POLICY MAPPING CONTEXTS
• PORTAL
• PORTAL SETTINGS
• RATINGS
• STEP_UP_AUTHENTICATION
• TAGS
• TEMPLATE DEPLOYMENT
• THEME MANAGEMENT
• USER SELF ENROLLMENT
• VP URL MAPPINGS
• WSRP EXPORT
• XML ACCESS
