Create And Edit Permission Levels
A permission level is a named set of permissions that you assign to roles for particular repository items. By default, Meridian Enterprise Server includes some example permission levels that you can use:
-
Full Access
-
Viewer
-
Manager
These names were chosen because they best represent the actions and permissions that are available in a repository and the design of Meridian Enterprise Server. These permission levels have default permissions assigned to them that you can see as described in the following task. They are just a starting point. You can edit or delete them and create other permission levels if you want to.
