Catalog permission configuration
Note
This option pertains to the Hyperproof TPRM product line.
Permission configuration allows you to manage access control at both catalog and entity levels.
By default, all administrators have read and write permissions for every vendor. However, if you need to modify permissions for user managers or team members, you can use catalog-level permissions and entity-level permissions.
Catalog-level permissions
This permission is the default permission provided for the catalog.
When to use catalog-level permission
Use Catalog Level Permission when you need to manage access for multiple users or teams across various entities in a centralized way. This type of permission is ideal in scenarios where:
You want to set broad access rules for multiple users, teams, or managers at once.
The same level of access (read/write) needs to be applied to all entities in a catalog.
You want to manage permissions efficiently through a single Catalog Configuration Page rather than setting them entity by entity.
To configure catalog-level permissions:
From the top menu, select Settings.
Select Catalog.
The Catalog Types window displays.
Locate the catalog you want to configure and click the Permissions configuration card.
The Manage Permission window displays.
Select At Catalog level and click Submit.
A warning displays indicating that all prior permissions will be deleted.
Select Confirm to continue.
The Catalog configuration page displays.
Select a page in your catalog.
Click the + sign.
The Permissions window displays.
Complete one or more of the following permissions options:
Users - If the User can view selected checkbox is checked, users in your organization can view this page.
Managers - Select one of the following options:
Can view the selected page - Managers in your organization can view this page.
Can edit the selected page - Managers in your organization can edit this page.
Team - Search for and select a team. Then, assign either view or edit permissions.
Click Submit.
Team-level permissions
You can also edit team permissions for entities within a catalog for an individual team.
From the top menu, select Settings.
Select Users & Teams.
In the left menu, select Teams.
The Entities column shows the number of entities a particular team can access.
Click the ... (More) menu for the team you want to edit.
Select Edit entities in team.
The Entities panel displays.
Search for the entity you want to add to the team by typing some of the entity's name. Select the entity from the list.
If necessary, use the trash can icon next to the entity name to remove it from the list.
Click Save to save the selected entities for the team.
Entity-level permissions
When you select entity-level permissions, all catalog-level permissions are reset. Permissions are now managed directly on the main entity catalog details page.
When to use entity-level permissions
Use Entity Level Permission when you need to grant or restrict access to a specific entity for particular users or teams. This type of permission is suitable for situations where:
A user or team should have access to only a single entity rather than the entire catalog.
You need to fine-tune access at a granular level, restricting permissions on a case-by-case basis.
Certain entities require unique access rules that differ from catalog-wide permissions.
Granting access:
Each page and section will have an icon.
Click on the icon to open a Collaborator Dialogue.
Select users or teams and assign the required access (View or Update)
Managing access:
Users will receive permissions for the selected entities based on the configuration.
