Introduction to Crucible permissions

A permission scheme assigns particular permissions to any or all of the following: 

• Particular Users.
• Particular Groups.
• All logged-in users.
• Anonymous Users
• People in particular Review Roles, such as:
  • Author
  • reviewer
  • creator
  • moderator

The scheme's permissions will apply to all reviews belonging to the project(s) with which the scheme is associated.

You can create as many permission schemes as you wish. Each permission scheme can be associated with many projects or just one project, allowing you to tailor appropriate permissions for individual projects as required.

Creating a permission scheme

To create a permission scheme:

1. In the Admin area, click Permission Schemes, under 'Security Settings'.
2. Under 'Add a new permission scheme', enter a Name  to uniquely identify your new scheme.
3. Click Add. Your new permission scheme will have the default assignees shown in the table above.
4. If required, edit this permission scheme, as described below.

Next step: see Associating a Permission Scheme with a Project.
