Assign Group-Override Permissions via System Role

Prev Next

Goal​

To change the group permissions granted to a system role in Engage. These permissions override the group permissions granted to users assigned this system role and apply whether the user is a member of the group or not.

Background Information​

Group-override permissions assign group-level rights directly to a system role. These permissions apply across all groups – even if the user is not a member of the group – and override both general and group-specific group roles.

Example

A user with the role Client Administrator should be able to manage any group in the system. Instead of adding them to each group individually, you can assign override permissions to their system role.

Prerequisites​

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

  • Your system role is granted the permission ​119: System Administration: Change the group override permissions of lower system roles​.

Procedure

  1. In the Main Navigation​, click ​ User Management​ > Permissions> Group (Override).

  2. From the ​Group Role​ drop-down list, select the group role for which the permissions should be changed.
    ⇒ The window shows the group permissions available to the selected group role. The permissions selected in the ​Granted​ column are already held by this role.

    Use the ​Category ​ drop-down list to limit the number of permissions displayed by type.

  3. Select a check box in the ​Granted​ column to grant additional permissions.

  4. Deselect a check box in the ​Granted​ column to remove permissions.

  5. Click ​Save​.
    ⇒ Changes to the selected system role are saved. All system users who are assigned this group role have these permissions in the groups where they are a member.
