Assign Module Permissions

Prev Next

Permissions can be assigned at the module or folder level. Assigning permissions at the module level applies those permissions to every folder created after the permissions were changed.

Important Notes:

  • Do not give permissions here unless you want to give a group access to the entire module. If a group does not need access to the whole module, you can set category permissions.

  • Do not click Save and Push Down unless you want to remove all existing permission groups except for the one you are selecting.
