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

Access to create and edit permissions 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 permission, you may still see the permission listed in search results and choosers. However, you cannot view details for that permission. If you try to view or edit permission 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 permissions 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.

Display permissions. Initially, no permissions are listed.

• To display all permissions in the database, click List All.
• To display a specific permission, enter all or part of a permission name and then click Search or press the Enter key. Search fields are case-insensitive.
• To add or remove search filters, click Add/Remove Search Filters. Then select or deselect the check boxes for the search filters.
• If available, click the Table Options icon, located in the row above the column headers, to display commands that control the display of data in the table. For example, you can hide or show columns of data; group data; or export data to Excel.

View permission details:

• To view details such as the users, groups, and roles that have been assigned this permission, click a permission name. When viewing permission details, click links to view additional information.
• To sort search results by permission name, click the column header. Click the header again to change the sort order, as indicated by the arrow.

Take other actions:

• To create a new permission in the database, click Create New.
• To edit a permission in the database, click its check box and then click Edit.
  • Editing a permission includes directly assigning the permission to users, groups, and roles; or removing the permission from them.
• To delete one or more permissions in the database, click their check boxes and then click Delete. You are asked to confirm your deletions.
• To export permissions to .csv files, click Export. Permissions are exported using predefined integration events which do not depend on your login partition or the search filters you specified.
