ITIL recommends that an **ITSM&#x20;**&#x70;roduct is able to assign specific levels of responsibilities from a Portfolio Manager to all others. Based on this recommendation, <font color="#ff6900">**4biz** </font>adopts this differentiated form of permissions control, per module.&#x20;

It is worth mentioning that the "<font color="#2166ae">**Access Profile**</font>" functionality continues to exist and it controls all types of access so that the administrator can intervene more properly whenever necessary.

The **Portfolio Management** functionality defines who will have access to the Service Portfolio Management and which type of access is allowed (view, save and/or delete).

## Before getting started

- [x] Before managing the access permission, it is necessary to previously register the pertinent access profiles.

## Procedure

1. Access the Access Permission functionality of the Portfolio Management through the main menu `Access and Permission > Portfolio Management;`
2. Choose the profile to manage and click on "**Edit**";
3. Select the actions (view, save, and/or delete) that the profile will be able to perform;
4. Note that:
   - the access of the profiles will be disabled (the checkbox of all pre-existing
     &#x20;profiles accesses will be disabled), by default, when it's created new
     &#x20;functionalities, therefore, the administrators should enable the profiles
     &#x20;they want, turn it available to those profiles.
5. Click on "**Save**".
