    • User permissions refer to the access rights assigned to a specific user to create, view, or edit architectural artifacts. These permissions enable only the authorized users to perform any actions on architectural artifacts. You can create user permissions and associate them with architectural artifacts.

    Before you begin

    Important:
    Starting from Xanadu Patch 4 release, the User 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.

    • If you’re assigned the Writer permission to an architectural artifact, you can provide Writer or Reader user permission to other users.
