Edit Privileged Users

You can manage privileges (permissions) for users of your dataverse, based on the defined roles in the DVN.

To manage permissions to your dataverse for specific users:

1. Navigate to your dataverse homepage.
2. Click My Options in the top-right corner, scroll to Dataverse Users, Privileges, Release Settings click Manage Users Privileges, Release Dataverse.
   You see the Site Restrictions and Users' Privileges page.
3. In the Contribution Settings, you see a list of Users Requesting to be Contributors if any user requested to contribute to your dataverse.
   For each user who you choose to permit to contribute to your dataverse, click the Accept radio button. Or you can click the Reject button if you choose not to permit that user to contribute.
4. In the Edit Privileged Users field, you can assign roles to users and grant them the privileges specified for that role.
   To assign a role to a user:
   1. Enter the username of the person to whom you choose to assign privileges in the text field, and then click Add.
   2. When the username is added to the list in this field, click the radio button in front of the role that you choose to assign to that user.
      Note: You must assign a role to the user before you click Save Changes, or the user is removed from the Privileged Users list.

   To remove a role from a user, click Remove Role for that user.

5. Click Save Changes to keep your changes, or click Cancel to lose your changes.
