Creating User Overrides

Overview

This article provides information on creating user overrides to allow specific permissions to individual users, or restrict them from such access.

Information

For particular users, you can create exceptions to permissions rules you have set up by creating user overrides. When you create a user override, you might be broadening a user's access, but you could also be limiting it, for example, blocking administrative abilities for the user. To grant a particular set of permissions to an individual, you create a user override. An override can be used if:

• A user requires a particular set of permissions for a place but is not (or should not be) a member of a user group to which you have already assigned access.
• A user is a member of a user group to which you have assigned permissions for a place but requires a different level of access than that received as a member, i.e., if the person is an exception to the rule. For example, you might want to separately define the user permissions to enhance or limit their access to the place.
