4.0 Review Your Permissions

Permissions lists all permissions -- roles and resources -- that have been assigned to you. Your organization might automatically assign you permissions or you might have requested them. For example, you receive a computer as part of your job, but you need to request access to a specific software application. You can also inherit some permissions indirectly through role relationships or if you are a member of a group or a container.

To view your permissions, select Access > Permissions. By default, you can see the list of permissions that are assigned or approved to you directly under the Self tab. To see the child permissions mapped with the assigned or approved permissions, click .

NOTE:The type of permissions listed on the permissions page may vary, depending on how the administrator has configured the settings for this page. For more information, see User Settings.

A team manager or supervisor can see the permissions of their team members in the Others tab. For more information, see Find a Permission of Others.

NOTE:Permissions allows you only to view and revoke permissions assigned to you. To request a role, resource, or PRD, go to Access > Requests. To view a history of your requests, go to Access > Requests History.

To update the content in Permissions, select Refresh.
