    If the asset is in a repository to which the group does not have read access, you see a dialog when setting the additional asset permissions that the group will be granted read permissions automatically to ALL assets in the view.

    If the group already has read access to the view where the asset is located, you will not see this dialog.

    When granting permission to an asset in a repository or view the group does not have permissions to, you are required to acknowledge that by granting permission, the group is automatically given read access.

  6. Select the permission(s) to assign to the group for this asset. Click Next and then Confirm.

    If assigning permissions to an asset in a view for which the group does not have read access, you must check the box that you understand that the group will be granted read permission to the view before you can click Confirm.

Direct asset permission assignments are automatically removed from a group if that group loses all access to the view.
