Administer Users

Create user accounts for those who need access to read, contribute to, and administer asset metadata. Users can be viewed in the People folder. To create a new user, your account must be a member of the Administrators group.

About User Permissions

You assign a new user to a specific permissions group:

• Administrators: Users with administration (full) permissions
• Certifiers: Users with permission to certify assets. See Certify Assets.
• Contributors: Users with editing permissions
• Readers: Users with basic (view) permissions

Permissions are inherited, and can be set on each folder separately.
