Viewing and Managing Access Policies
You can view and manage the access control rules for objects (such as folders, parts, and documents) in your product or library. Navigate to the object, and select the Edit Access Control action, depending on your configuration. Using this action you can view and set the access control to the object for roles within your product or library team.
For more information, see Creating and Managing Access Control Rules and About Security Management.
You can define policies that control the level of access to information in a product or library. When defining a policy, the object types and user-defined groups defined in the parent organization can be used as well as the system groups representing the team roles in a product or library. For example, you could create a policy that provides read access to all documents of type “Quality Assessment” to the product team role/group called “Testers”. You can also choose to extend read access to this document type to an organizational user-defined group with the name “Quality Assurance” (if such a policy is not already granted at the parent organization level).
