User Privileges

To grant or revoke user privileges, do the following:

•
Assign presets: To assign a predefined or user‑defined preset, select the Preset in the Privileges Presets list, and click Load. A predefined Preset can be identified by a trailing ♦ symbol in its name.
When you assign a Preset to a user, the user is granted all the permissions included in that set. The selected privileges are moved to the Granted list.
You can assign only one Preset. If you load a new Preset, the Granted list is overwritten with the new set of privileges.
For more information about creating, modifying, and deleting Presets, see Using Presets.
