The Resource Permissions screen is an interface for granting and restricting access to CTP-released resources. You can restrict or grant access to the following types of resources:

• systems
• environments
• SOAtest and Virtualize servers
• data repository servers
• test execution jobs

When a resource is selected and the Restricted option enabled, users moved to the Selected field will have access to the resource. Access to the resource enables users to perform actions on the resource according their user roles. 

For example, if a user with Provision role permissions is granted access to a specific test execution job, the user will be able to execute the job. If a user with System role permissions is give access to the test execution job, he or she will also be able to modify the job and delete the job. 

Some resources can be set to Private. These resources are hidden from non-administrators who have not been granted access to them. Only SOAtest and Virtualize servers as well as data repository servers can be set to Private.

Administrators can set permissions on any resource and system users can set permissions on resources to which they already have permission. See Understanding Roles and Permissions for additional information about role-based permissions.

1. Choose a resource type from the Resource type menu. The label for the second menu adjusts to the type of resource selected. 
2. Choose a specific resource from the second menu. If you are setting permissions for a system or environment, a Manage Diagram link to the associated diagram also appears. Clicking the link exits the Resource Permissions screen and opens the diagram in the Environment Manager module. Any changes you have made will be applied when leaving the Resource Permissions screen. 
3. Choose the appropriate option (as available) from the Access Level menu:
   • Open: available to any user.
   • Restricted: available only to administrators plus users and groups specified, but visible to other users.
   • Private: available only to administrators plus users and groups specified and hidden from other users.
4. Use the controls to move groups and specific users from the Unselected area to the Selected area to give them access to the restricted resource. Move groups and specific users from the Selected area to the Unselected area to remove their permissions to access the resource.
