Knowledge Store and Document Manager Permissions

The CA Clarity PPM administrator grants Knowledge Store access rights. Access to folders and documents are granted on a case-by-case basis. When you create or administer a folder or document, identify the users who need access to the folder or document. Then, give the users permission to read, read/write, or read/write/delete on the folder or document. The permission level determines the actions users can take on a folder or document.

The following table describes the permissions required for the Knowledge Store or Document Manager.
