The annotation creator can apply access control and permission options to selected users, groups, or roles. Access control applies to the top level annotation (the root) and all subsequent replies. Permission options define what kind of access a user has to the annotation. You can organize and control the view of annotations to which you have access.
Permissions options are:
No Access—Users cannot view annotations.
View—Users can view all annotations but cannot create or respond to annotations.
Modify—Users can create and respond to annotations, but not delete.
Full Control—Users can create, respond to, and perform administrative functions associated with the repository object.
To set annotation permissions:
Click the annotation, then click the Show Details icon to view the annotation in the Annotation List Panel.
In the Annotation List Panel, highlight the annotation to which you want to set permissions and click the Permissions icon.
In the Permissions dialog box highlight the users, groups, or roles to which you want to apply permissions, then click on the right-facing arrow to move them to the Selected Users, Groups and Roles panel.
From the Access drop-down, select the permissions, and click OK.
