Assign General Group Permissions

Prev Next

Goal

​To change the permissions granted to a group role for all groups in Engage.

Background Information​

General group permissions define what users with a specific group role can do in all groups by default. These settings apply to every group where the role is used – unless group-specific permissions are configured to override them.

Prerequisites​

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

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

Procedure​

  1. In the ​main navigation, click ​User Management​ > Permissions ​ > Group (General).

  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.
