EDG Permissions Management
--------------------------
The EDG Permissions Management page gives administrators global access to
permission profile settings for current EDG asset collections. 

.. seealso::
   For an overview of access control in EDG,
   see :ref:`operationalizing_data_governance`.

Administrators can assign or revoke either individual users or their security
roles to **viewer**, **editor** or **manager** profiles for any or all
collections and their workflows.

The first three settings let administrators (re-)assign or revoke profiles
for users on *all* collections:

The *Edit User Permission Profiles for Specific Collections* section allows
administrators to define or remove assignments specific to each collection in the EDG workspace.

.. note::
   Roles can be nested and thus can be assigned to other roles.
