Item Permissions

For public projects in a secure database, any user who has read/write permissions for the project will have read/write permissions for all of the items within the project by default. However, if you desire, each item in the project can have its own security settings. To set the permissions for an item, you must a) have the “Set project security” permission for the project, b) be the project owner or c) have the “Manage all projects” permission. Select the item in the current project explorer and choose Project > Current Item > Item Permissions.

In the Item Permissions window, there are two ways the item's permissions can be set:

It can have its own permissions defined at the item level. To do this, select Restrict editing to selected project users. The Select Users area will become enabled and will display a list of all users who have edit permissions for the project. Only the specific users that are selected from the list will be able to edit this particular item. Other project users will have read-only access.

It can inherit permissions from the project. If you select Inherit from project, any user who has edit permissions for the project will have edit permission for this item.
