How do I Configure User Permissions?

This article outlines each individual permission and their expected behavior

Things to Know

  • Users that have not had their permissions altered since the update will show the permissions of the predefined template prior to the update.
  • Some permissions have a parent/child relationship, meaning that the parent must be enabled for the child permissions to be enabled. Parent/child relationships will be noted in the cheat sheet below. 
    • If a parent permission is OFF, the child permissions can not be enabled.
    • If a parent permission is ON, the child permissions can be enabled or disabled as needed.
  • Admins will have all permissions enabled by default
  • Some user types will have specific permissions locked by default
  • User settings and permissions can be accessed by finding the user and clicking the blue shield icon in the actions column
