The appliance applies permissions for DNS resources hierarchically. Permissions to a DNS view apply to all zones and resource records in that view. Permissions for a zone apply to all its subzones and resource records, and resource record permissions apply to those resource records only. To override permissions set at higher level, you must define permissions at a more specific level. To assign permissions, see Applying Permissions and Managing Overlaps.
You can also define permissions for specific DNS objects and Grid member to restrict admins to perform only the specified DNS tasks on the specified member. For more information, see Defining DNS and DHCP Permissions on Grid Members.
The following sections describe the different types of permissions that you can set for DNS resources:

For information on setting permissions for resource records, see Applying Permissions and Managing Overlaps. The following table lists the tasks admins can perform and the required permissions for resource records.

By default, only superusers can add and edit A, AAAA, shared A, and shared AAAA records with a blank name. Limited-access admin groups can add and edit A, AAAA, shared A, and shared AAAA records with a blank name, only if their administrative permissions are defined. You can grant read/write or deny permission to Adding a blank A/AAAA record for specific admin groups, which applies to all admin roles in the group. You can define global permissions for specific admin groups and roles to allow limited-access users to add and edit blank A, AAAA, shared A, and shared AAAA records, as described in in Defining Global Permissions.
