What Are User Permissions?
User Permissions allow you to assign or override specific permissions for a single user. These settings always take precedence over the permissions defined in the Group Permissions area.
Steps to Change User Permissions
Step 1: Navigate to Users
- Click Users in the navigation menu.
Step 2: Open the User Account
- Click on the Account of the user whose permissions you want to change.
Step 3: Go to the Permissions Tab
- Click the Permissions tab at the top of the page.
Step 4: Set the Permission
- Use the drop‑down menu next to each permission to choose the desired setting.
Step 5: Save Changes
- Click Save to apply the new permissions.
Available Options
- Inherit – Uses the Group Permission assigned by a Centre Manager. Recommended for consistency.
- Grant – Always grants the permission for this user, regardless of group settings.
- Deny – Always denies the permission for this user, regardless of group settings.
ℹ️ Important: Use Inherit unless you need to override a specific permission. Changes apply immediately after saving.
