Use Permissions for Collaborative Semantic Model Development

The owner of a semantic model can assign access permissions to other semantic model developers in a concurrent development environment.

Use permissions to share a semantic model within a small development team. When you use permissions to share a semantic model, only one developer at a time can work on the semantic model.

The Share using Permissions option is only available for semantic models that aren't using Git. When you use Git to share a semantic model, you can't change it to use permission to share it. But if you use permissions to share a semantic model, you can later update sharing to use Git.

These are the permissions that you can assign to the semantic model's users and roles:

• Full Control - Choose this option to give the corresponding users and roles the ability to access and modify the semantic model, and the ability to add and assign users and roles and permissions to the semantic model.
• Read-Write - Choose this option to give the corresponding users and roles the ability to access and modify the semantic model.
