Set permissions

You can give other users or roles permissions to read, create, update, delete, or rename components. You can also set permissions for all components in a folder.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you can update a component you can set permissions on it.
  • The Read permission is selected by default for all components and folders, and you can't remove it.
  • You can also set permissions on components in a project.
  • Even if you can update a project, Inspire doesn't allow permissions to be set for project folders.

The Update and Delete permissions are no longer tied together.

  • If you want to let a user or role move a component between folders, you must give them the Update permission for the component. The Update permission no longer lets that user or role also delete the component by default. You must explicitly grant the Delete permission to let the user or role send the component to the Deleted Items folder.
  • If you grant a user or role permission to delete a component, they can no longer also move the component between folders by default. You must explicitly grant the Update permission to let the user or role move the component.

Keep in mind that if you remove a user's permission to access components or folders, and the user is not an administrator, the user's browser view and Options menus change in the following ways:

  • If a non-admin user doesn't have any permissions, even Read permission, for folder and corresponding components, they don't see them in the Components browser.
  • If a non-admin opens a project that contains a component they don't have permission to, they can see it and select it in the project, but the actions are not completed, and the user gets a warning that they don't have permissions to perform that action.
