Components

Read

Use this option to enable users to view, but not modify, the object.

Execute

Use this option to enable users to run or launch the programs or applications associated with the object, such as an agent or the actions for an action link.

Traverse

Use this option to give the user authority to bypass any permissions set on the folder that would prevent the user from accessing the object from the Catalog, a dashboard, or WebCenter Portal application page. Note that this option does not change the folder's permissions.

For example, if you grant users the Traverse permission to the /Shared Folders/Test folder, then they can access objects, through the Catalog or embedded in dashboards or WebCenter Portal application pages, stored in the/Shared Folders/Test folder and stored in sub-folders, such as the /Shared Folders/Test/Guest folder. However, users cannot access (meaning view, expand, or browse) the folder and sub-folders from the Catalog.

Write

Use this option to enable users to modify the object.

Delete

Use this option to enable users to delete the object.

Change Permissions

Use this option to enable users to modify or assign other permissions to the object.

Set Ownership

Use this option to enable users to specify the owner of the object.

View Publisher Output
