• You must be a model administrator. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).

1. In [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm], click User and Group Permissions.

2. On the Users or Groups page, select the row for the user or group that you want to edit.

3. Click Edit selected user.

4. Click the Hierarchy Members tab.

5. From the Model list, select a model.

6. From the Version list, select a version.

7. From the Hierarchy list, select a hierarchy.

8. Click Edit.

9. Expand the tree, and click the hierarchy node you want to assign permissions to.

10. From the menu, select a combination of Create, Read,Update and Delete permissions, or Deny permissions.
