Group (Override) (window)
Navigation Path
User Management > Permissions > Group (Override)
Purpose
In this window, you define the permissions granted to system roles for all groups in Engage. These permissions determine what a system user or recipient can do with any group regardless of membership status. These permissions apply to all groups in the system and override both general and group-specific permissions. Use group-override permissions to grant system users the right to access, view and change all groups in the system, whether they are a member of the group or not.
Each system role is assigned a specific set of permissions by default. As long as your system role is higher than the role you wish to change, you can change the permissions manually in this window.
You can assign this system role to a specific user account in the Recipients area of Engage. For instructions, see Change System Role Assignment.
What can I do in this window?
- View current group-override permissions assigned to a system role.
- Grant additional group-override permissions to a system role.
- Remove group-override permissions from a system role.
You can only view group roles that are ranked the same or lower than your own. You can only change permission assignments for group roles that are ranked lower than your own.
