Introduction
User permissions control what actions user can perform in the system. They are part of the access control system that also includes (no) FeltnivÄsikkerhet (FLS) and (no) Object Security.
Each operation or each service that provides or updates data requires one specific permission.Â
Managing permissions
Permissions can be managed by users that have Manage System Permissions permission assigned.
To manage permission assignments, please go to system Administration â Users and Groups â User Permissions
Permissions are organized in Permission Sets. In this screenshot a Security Administrator set includes all Administrator permissions and several specific permissions like Anonymize User.
Assignments can be made on any level, so a specific user or group can be assigned to individual permission or to entire set.Â
When a user is assigned to a set, then all permissions within the set will be granted. It's advised to use groups and organize them as needed in specific organization.Â
Then assign these groups to as many permissions or sets as needed. Later on, manage permissions by adding or removing users from such groups.Â
Evaluate user permissions
If Security Administrator is uncertain what permissions did the user get, they can be checked by using "check effective rights" button located on the user list.Â
This list includes direct assignments but also all permissions granted via group membership or via permission sets inclusion (e.g. one sets includes another set).Â
