Entity Permissions (Master Data Services)

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md-winonly]

Entity permissions apply to:

• All of the entity's attributes, including Name and Code, for both leaf and consolidated members.

• All of the entity's collections.

• Explicit hierarchy memberships and relationships.

When you have permission to an entity, you can add and remove members from the entity, its explicit hierarchies, and its collections.

Note

These permissions apply to the Explorer functional area of the user interface only.

Permission	Description
Read	User can read members, attributes, hierarchy memberships, or collection memberships.
Create	User can create members, and assign attribute values during create.
Update	User can update members, attributes, hierarchy memberships, or collection memberships.
Delete	User can delete members.
Deny	Deny all access to the entity.

The Read, Create, Update, and Delete permissions can be combined with each other. When Create, Update and Delete permissions are assigned, the read permission will be assigned automatically.
