Viewing Users, Roles, and Privileges for an Item

Purpose

You can view the current role assignments for an item and view the users who currently have that item on their Inboxes. You can also view the privileges for a user for the item.

PRIVILEGES  To view other user's privileges you will need the privilege View other User's Privileges for the product that owns the item.

To view the users, roles, and privileges for an item:

  1. In an Items list, select the item.

  2. Select Item | Show User Roles and Privileges.

  3. To see which users have this item in their Inbox, click the Users with Object in Their Inbox tab.

  4. To see which users are assigned to a particular role for this item, click the Role Assignments tab.

  5. To see which privileges are enabled, click the Privileges tab.

  6. If you have the View Other User's Privileges privilege, you can select the user whose privileges you want to view from the User list.

  7. To view deployment privileges that apply to a specific stage or area, select a stage from the Stage list, and optionally, select an area from the Area list.

  8. NOTE  If the privilege has a unresolved_privilege.gif icon, this means that the user’s permission cannot be resolved. You will need to select a Stage and Area above in order to determine whether the user has that privilege or not.

  9. To see the rule that applies to a privilege, select the privilege.

  10. The details are displayed in the Rule(s) Applied text box at the bottom of the dialog box.
