Goal

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

Background Information​

For each group, it is a member of, a user account is assigned a group role. The group role determines what functions of the group the users with that role can access, as well as what group information the users are able to see.

General group permissions are used as the default settings in each existing and newly created group. Users hold all of the assigned permissions in every group in which they hold that role. These permissions apply to all groups for which group-specific permissions are not set. Group-specific permissions override general group permissions.

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.

  2. From the ​Group Role drop-down list, select the group role for which the permissions should be changed.
