Model Permissions (Master Data Services)

Model permissions apply to all entities, attributes, attribute groups, derived hierarchies, explicit hierarchies, and collections that exist within the model. Permissions assigned to the model can be overridden for any individual object.

Note

If a user is a model administrator, the model is displayed in all functional areas of the user interface. Otherwise, the model is displayed in the Explorer functional area only. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).
