Configuring the default Space permissions template

Use the default Space permissions template to pre-configure the Space permissions that are assigned to each role by default when a new Space is created in a Catalog.

About this task

Each Catalog has its own default Space permissions template. The changes that you make to the default permissions affect any new Spaces that are created in the Catalog thereafter. The permissions that are defined in existing Spaces are unaffected. You can change the default Space permissions at any time before creating a new Space.
Note: You cannot change the default permissions for the Space owner.

After you have created a Space, you can change the permission settings for that Space to override the default permissions. For details, see Managing user access in a Space.
