Highlighted permissions designate those permissions associated with an administrator group. If the administrator is a member of a group, do one of the following:
| Select Use default permissions associated with group membership to assign only the permissions associated with the group. You cannot add, remove, or change these permissions.
|
| Select Use a custom role to assign the permissions associated with the group, and to allow you to add other permissions. You can add any available permission that does not conflict with a permission assigned by the group. You cannot remove or modify a permission added by the group. If you later remove these additional permissions, the administrator reverts to Use default permissions associated with group membership.
|
Group permissions are additive. If an administrator is a member of multiple administrator groups, the administrator inherits all of the permissions assigned by all of the groups.
