    • Group permissions refer to the access rights assigned to different user groups to create, view, or edit architectural artifacts. These permissions enable only the authorized groups to perform any actions on architectural artifacts.

    Before you begin

    Important:
    Starting from Xanadu Patch 4 release, the Group Permissions tab has been deprecated from Enterprise Architecture Workspace. However, you can still manage access permissions for architectural artifacts using the Share feature. For more information, see Manage access to architectural artifacts.

    Role required: All users with Writer permission assigned.

    About this task

    You can create group permissions and associate them with architectural artifacts. Based on your existing permission, you can provide certain user permissions.
    • If you’re the owner of the architectural artifact, you can provide Reader, Writer, and Owner group permission to other users.
    • If you’re assigned the Writer permission to an architectural artifact, you can provide Writer or Reader group permission to other users.
    • If you’re assigned the Reader permission to an architectural artifact, you can’t provide any group permission to other users.
