This image shows the Permissions dialog. Here you can manage accounts and assign permissions to a catalog object.

The top portion of Permissions dialog displays the folder in which the object resides and the account name of the object owner. For example, in the image the account name of the object owner is System Account.

The Permissions table contains the following columns:

Accounts — The accounts that have access to the object. For example, in the image several accounts have access to the object, such as BI Consumer and BI Content Author.
Permissions — The type of access rights the account has to the object. Options include Full Control, Modify, Open, Custom, and No Access.
Owner — If selected, indicates that the account is the owner the object.

The Permissions toolbar contains the following buttons:

Apply effective permissions — Use this button to assign permissions based on the user's membership in a group. For example, if a user belongs to the Marketing group account which has full control permissions to a Corporate Sales scorecard directory, then the user also has full control to the directory.
