Permission Groups

Using the Permission groups, you can assign a user to a particular group and a user inherits all the permissions granted to the group.

The advantage of the Permission groups is to define a set of privileges like create, edit, or delete for the given set of resources that can be shared among the users within the group.

The User permissions section for Specific permissions contains a drop-down list of all existing groups for which a user has an access. This is an optional field and more than one groups can be selected for a user.

Add Group

Go to Global Configurations → Authorization → Permissions groups → Add group.

Enter the Group Name and Description.

You can either grant super-admin permission to a user group or specific permissions to manage access for:
