By visiting the 'Permissions' tab, which is available on the top-right corner of every registered Software or Virtual Appliance dialog, you could manage the permissions users have on that specific entry.
From this tab you may give specific permission sets either to the persons listed as 'Contacts' or for any other individual (explicit users).
For the meaning and the purpose of each available permission set, please have a look at the permissions guide.
