Assigning Permissions on Usage Links

After creating the data usage links, the next most important step is to give permissions to the users to access the data usage links. The user who creates the data usage link does not get the execute and delete permissions automatically. You have to assign these permissions to yourself to be able to execute or delete the data usage link. To add usage links as macros to other usage links, you must have execute permissions.

To assign permissions:

1. From the Navigation menu, browse to Data Adapters > Usage Links.

2. On the List page, select the usage link on which you want to give permissions.

3. On the Properties page, on the Permissions tab, assign the following permissions to users and user groups:

   • Own

   • View

   • Edit

   • Delete

   • Execute: Users with execute permissions are the only ones who can use the usage links. You must give this permission to all the users who should have access to the usage links.

4. Click the Save button.
