Enable Cost Object Permissions from ADM

Currently Cost Object Permissions can only be manually loaded into ITP and adjusted from there. 

Creating Cost Object Permissions from Master Data in CT and manually adding changes works, until Master Data changes and is updated as this  will cause loss of previous manually entered permissions. 

If Master Data of Cost Object Permissions is subject to frequent changes + additional changes need to be made, this is a lot of effort to maintain. 

A flexible solution could be to create Cost Object Permissions based on Master Data + additional table with exceptions in TBM Studio. However then manual upload into ITP is necessary. 

Including Cost Object Permissions into ADM would solve this problem to maintain cost object permissions without the need of manually loading from CT to ITP.
