User Tasks

The following table lists the tasks that can be performed by users who are browsing and managing data. The permission noted is the minimum required to perform the task.

For example, you need the Participant(Read) permission on a data chain object to browse that object, but you can also browse that object with Participant(Write) permission, because it includes the Participant(Read) permission. For more information on permissions, see Working with Permissions.
