Setting Permissions for Your Group

It is not possible to edit the permissions for the default groups, Users and Administrators.

If you would like to set custom permissions for a group, you would need to create a new user group and then edit the permissions.

For a newly created User Group, there will be no permissions at all selected and you will need to select the ones you would like your users to have or they will not be able to carry out the tasks you would like them to in Blockworx.

1. On the User Groups tab in the Admin area, click on the name of a group you have created on the left of the screen.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the Permissions button on the right of the screen under the name of your group.
   
   
1. This will launch a window with a list of all available permissions.
   
   
3. You can tick the individual permissions that you would like the users in this group to have.
   
   
4. Alternatively, you can tick the Select All options in different sections to assign all permissions within a section.
   
   
1. This will then tick all individual permissions within that section.
   
   
   
   
5. As you tick each permission or section, Blockworx will automatically save your selections.
   
   
6. When you have selected all appropriate permissions, click in the white cross in the orange button at the top-right of the Permissions window to close this screen.
   
   

Please note that a user can be a member of several user groups and they would be granted the permissions set for all groups they are a member of.

You could use this method to enable an individual member of a group to pick up higher permissions than the other members of the group.
