Assessment Hierarchy Permissions

With the introduction of Assessment Hierarchy, various new permissions have been implemented to allow users to perform various operations on assessments and assessment folders. These permissions can be assigned at the level from the Role Assignment screen. Click the following links to view the new permissions implemented for Assessment Hierarchy with v4.3 of the Governance Portal:

In addition to the preceding new permissions, you can assign users or user groups to a particular role via the Role Assignment screen.

3. Alternatively, you can assign permissions to roles for assessments/assessment templates as well. Right-click the assessment/template name and select View Role Assignment.

   

4. Select the role to which you wish to assign user or user groups to, from the Choose Role drop-down list.

   

5. Search for users or user groups that you wish to assign to the selected role, and click Search. See Assign Entity-Specific Role Membership via the User Interface for more information.

   

6. Click the Assign link to assign the users to that specific role. Doing so, will grant the folder permissions to that role and all users within the role will be able to access the folder.

   Note: You need to have the View Role Assignment permission to view the Role Assignment window. Having this permission does not allow you to make changes to the role assignment. To be able to make changes, you are required to have the Edit Role Assignment permission. See Add a Permission Type to a Role for more information on allowing permissions to various roles.
