Goal​

To change the global permissions granted to a system, contact or guest role in Engage.

Prerequisites​

  • The role you wish to change is ranked lower than your own.

  • Your system role is granted the permission ​113: System Administration: Change the permissions of lower system roles​.

Background Information​

Global permissions define access to system-wide functions and administrative features. They are assigned to system roles, and to a limited extent, to contact and guest roles.

System users can access a wide range of platform features. Contact and guest roles are restricted to managing their own accounts and cannot access the Engage interface.
