Assign Group-Specific Permissions

Prev Next

Goal​

To change the group-specific permissions granted to a group role for a specific group in Engage. These permissions override the general group permissions granted to users assigned this system role.

Background Information​

Group-specific permissions override the general group permissions for a particular group. Use this option when a role needs additional or restricted rights in one group without affecting other groups.

Example

A user with the role Manager is not allowed to remove members by default. However, in the group Newsletter_DE, they should manage the recipient list. You can grant this permission specifically for that group – without affecting their rights in any other group.

Prerequisites​

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

  • Your group role is granted the permission ​403: Group Administration: Change the permissions of lower group roles​.

Procedure

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

  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.
