User: Group Permissions

The groups and group permissions assigned to a user are displayed and edited in the Group Permissions accordion of the User Profile workscreen. The User Profile workscreen displays when you add, edit, or view a user. 

A grid displays the groups to which the user has been assigned. The grid's columns are described below.

Assigning a User Group Permissions

To assign group permissions to a user:

1. Add a user or edit a user to display the User Profile workscreen. 
2. From the User Profile workscreen, expand the Group Permissions accordion. The various groups in your account are listed in the first column of the group permissions grid. Across the top of the grid are the various permissions that you may grant the user.

• To assign all groups to a user, click Assign All.
• To grant a user a permission for a group, check the checkbox displayed at the intersection of the group and group permission.
