Defining General Permissions

About this task

Note: The best practice is to define permissions at the role level, and then assign users and groups to the role so that they inherit the role-level definitions. For details, see Best Practices.

    See General Permissions for information on specific permissions.
  6. Optional: Click the Reset icon at the top of the main pane to reset the entity's general permissions.

    This action performed on:

    • Role - resets all permissions to "Deny"
