Group (Specific) (window)
Navigation Path
User Management > Permissions > Group (Specific)
Purpose
In this window, you define the permissions granted to group roles for a specific group. These permissions determine what a system user or recipient can do with a specific group to which they belong as a member. Permissions granted in this window apply to a single group in a Engage system. These permissions override general group permissions, but are overridden by group-override permissions for this group role.
Each group role is assigned a specific set of permissions by default. As long as your group role is higher than the role you wish to change, you can change the permissions manually in this window.
You can assign this group role to a specific user account in the Recipients area of Engage. For instructions, see Assign a Group Role.
What can I do in this window?
- View current group-specific permissions assigned to a group role.
- Grant additional group-specific permissions to a group role.
- Remove group-specific permissions from a group 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.
