Permissions for assets
For each asset, you can specify permissions for users or groups.
By separating the permissions for users and groups, you can restrict the range of access, such as making information available only within a department.
Set the permissions for assets from the editing screen for assets.

Inheritance of permissions
Granted permissions for assets are inherited by lower and higher assets.
Removed permissions for assets are inherited by lower assets only.
The inherited permissions are the same permissions as the inheritance source permissions.
When permissions to the highest asset are granted
For an asset hierarchy of Database > Schema > Table > Column, when permissions to Database are granted, permissions to Schema and lower are also acquired.
When permissions to a middle-layer asset are removed
For an asset hierarchy of Database > Schema > Table > Column, when you have permissions for Database and lower, if the permissions for Schema are removed, the permissions for lower than Schema are also removed.
When permissions to a middle-layer asset are granted
For an asset hierarchy of Database > Schema > Table > Column, when permissions to Schema are granted, the permissions are granted for the corresponding Schema asset and lower, as well as for higher assets (Database).
For an asset hierarchy of Database > Schema > Table > Column, when permissions to Table are granted, the permissions are granted for the corresponding Table asset and lower, as well as for higher assets (Database and Schema).
