Creating User Overrides

You can create user-by-user exceptions to permissions rules you've set up by creating user overrides. When you create a user override, you might be further limiting a user's access, but you could also be broadening it, for example, to add administrative abilities to the user.

Create a user override to grant a particular set of permissions to an individual. You might need to create an override if:
Use the following steps to create a user override on the permissions page you're editing:
  1. Under User Overrides, click Create a user override.
  2. In the box, start typing the name of the user for whom you want to set the override. Click the user's name when you see it show up.
  3. Click the Set override button to view the permissions you can set.
  4. In the permissions dialog for the person you selected, select and clear check boxes as needed. In the end you want the list of checked items to reflect the permissions the person should have. Note that you merely clear a check box to remove a permission -- there's no need to explicitly revoke the permission.
  5. Click Set Permissions to save the override you've created.
