An asterisk (*) indicates that data is from a different partition and is therefore read-only.

Access to create and edit PCards depends on the permissions assigned to you and whether you are in view or edit mode. If you do not have read or edit permission for a particular PCard, you may still see the PCard listed in search results and choosers. However, you cannot view details for that PCard. If you try to view or edit PCard details without the proper object-level permissions, an error message is displayed.

In the default configuration, the permissions required to access workspaces and tasks are defined in the workspace configuration files; and the access permissions required to view, create, edit, delete, and export PCards are defined in the object manager configuration files. Permissions can be customized, including setting object-level read and edit permission. For more information, see the Ariba Buyer Administrator Customization Guide.
