12.1.3.6.1 Managing Environment Permissions & Admin License

When you need to give a user or group access to an environment, this method allows you to set their permissions and, if needed, grant Environment Admin access. This ensures the right people can work effectively while keeping sensitive areas protected.

Permission Levels & Environment Admin License Overview

These are the permissions you can assign to a user or group within an environment:

• None
  No pre-determined permissions
• Read Published
  View only the published version (no editing or drafts)
• Read Latest
  View all versions (no editing or deleting)
• Write
  View and edit all versions (no deleting)
• Delete
  View, edit, delete, and manage object security
• Environment Admin License
  Full access and control in the environment

• Find the user or group you want to manage.
• Click the icon.

2. Add an Environment

• In the search box, start typing the environment name.
• Select the correct environment from the suggestions.

3. Assign Permission / License

• Otherwise, use the Environment Permission dropdown to select a specific permission level.
