Assigning Service permissions
 

For each service on your platform the platform administrator(s) must specify the access permissions ("access-read"). Depending on the different services additional permissions need to be considered. In the content services for example is the “access-write” permission very important!

Permissions for content services
In order that users can create facts on the platform, the p-Admin must assign “access-write” permissions to the appropriate user groups. In addition the “standard” permissions must be considered. They serve as a suggestion during the permissions assignment for the individual facts.

Procedure:

|1| Click in the main menu on “Services”

|2| In the following list of all services, click on the “perm” button of the desired service.

|3| In the table on the next page, all your groups are displayed as rows, and the columns represent the possible permission settings. For each service, you have to set "access" and "standard" permissions. The following checkboxes are available:
"acces + read" Defines whether a group has access to a service from the header. [Only important for platforms with a standard header.]
"acces + write" Defines whether a group is allowed to create facts of this specific service.
"standard + read" As pAdmin you suggest to users this group to be "read" permitted for a fact of this service.
"standard + modify" As pAdmin you suggest to users this group to be "modify" permitted for a fact of this service.

|4| Click on the „set permissions“ button, to save your selection.
