Administrator/User Permissions
A user guide for working with user permissions. We cover how to create and modify user permissions.
This section addresses the management of user permissions within the system.
By clicking on Administrator/User Permissions, you can access the list of all available permissions.
There are two types of permissions in the system:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
System | System permissions control access to sections or actions within the application itself and are provided by the application. For example, these permissions might allow you to administer users or view reports. Users cannot customize these permissions, and they may expand as new functionalities are added. |
Custom | Custom permissions are permissions that users can create to tag content, such as documents, or limit access to specific areas like departments. For instance, you might have a confidential document that only two people should have access to. In this case, you could create a confidential document custom permission and assign it to the document and the two users you want to grant access to. The absence of the permission will prevent users from accessing the document. |
