Protection

Protection is the logic or rules governing overlapping subset definition. Protection is the level of authorization or degree of authorization you have on an object.

When a subset is not checked out, the way protection is defined for its objects has no effect on users who check out other subsets that include the same objects. For example, if your subset is defined with Delete protection on Procedure Step A but your subset is not checked out, another subset containing Procedure A with Delete protection may be checked out and that procedure step may be deleted.
