Overview of User Permissions in Groups

In ScreenSteps, users can be assigned to groups that determine their default permissions. However, it is possible to grant additional permissions to individual users beyond what their group provides.

• Groups set baseline permissions for their members.
• Individual users can receive extra permissions apart from their group.

Key Concepts

Understanding how permissions work in relation to groups and individual users is important for managing access in ScreenSteps.

• Group: A collection of users with a shared set of permissions.
• Permissions: The actions a user is allowed to perform, such as viewing or editing content.
• Individual Permissions: Additional rights granted to a user, regardless of their group’s default permissions.

Why It Matters

Granting additional permissions to individual users allows for flexibility in managing access. For example, if a user in a group of viewers needs editing capabilities, you can provide those permissions without changing the group’s settings.

• Enables tailored access for specific users.
• Prevents the need to create new groups for every unique permission set.
• Supports efficient and secure management of user roles.
