# Permission a use case

Use case permissions only manage the permission of [use case metadata](../edit-metadata/index.md).

## Metadata

The permission of the use case metadata is managed through the **Roles** panel. In the use case overview page, select the **...** option in the left sidebar or on the top right side of the overview page and select **Manage permissions**.

You can use the **Roles** panel to add or remove users or groups to the use case and assign them either the `Use Case Owner` or `Use Case Editor` role.

**Use Case Owner:** Users with `Use Case Owner` permissions can both manage the use case permissions and [edit use case metadata](../edit-metadata/index.md).

**Use Case Editor:** Users with `Use Case Editor` permissions can only [edit the use case metadata](../edit-metadata/index.md).

:::callout{theme="warning"}
By default, use case metadata is visible to everyone in the Organization, even if the users cannot view or edit the use case resources.

## Resources

Permissions to the resources included in the use case are managed by the permission on the resource itself or the Project backing the use case. Learn more about managing [Project](../../security/projects-and-roles/index.md) and [Ontology resource](../../object-permissioning/ontology-permissions/index.md) permissions.
