Adding Principals in the GUI
When users are added to an existing group, they are granted the same permissions as the rest of the group. This is applicable only if the group is listed in the ACLs. If you implemented ACLs by defining specific users, you can add principals to the ACLs for each new user. If you defined new groups to reflect a changing business organization, you can add principals to reflect the new group.
Adding a new principal to the ACL involves defining a new principal and at least one permission.
To add a principal using the Windchill RV&S client GUI:
1. Select the project, subproject, or member for which you want to view ACLs.
2. Select one of the following:
◦ > >

The View Permissions window opens.
