Required permissions for BPT
Ensure that you have the required ALM permissions before working with business components and application areas.
Component steps
To work with component steps in ALM, you must have the appropriate Add Step, Modify Step, or Delete Step permissions set.
You do not need Modify Component permission to work with component steps.
The Modify Component permission enables you to work with component properties, which are the fields in the component Details tab.
Parameters in ALM or other testing tools
To work with parameters in ALM or in a testing tool, you must have all the parameter task permissions set in ALM.
Application areas
To modify application areas, you must have the separate permissions for resources required for modifying components, and adding, modifying, and deleting steps.
All four permissions (Modify Component, Add Step, Modify Step, or Delete Step) are required.
If one of these permissions is not assigned, you can open application areas only in read-only format.
