Managing user permissions

On this page

This guide explains the different permissions available to Adverity users, and how to change a user’s permissions in Adverity.

Introduction

A user’s permissions determine which pages of Adverity they can access and what objects they can create. In Adverity, user permissions are controlled by the groups to which a user is assigned.

Assigning user permissions

Assign user permissions in Adverity by assigning the user to one or more groups.

To assign a user to a group in Adverity, follow these steps:

Go to the Administration page.
In the secondary menu, click Users.
Click on the email address of the user whose permissions are to be updated.
In Groups, select the groups to which the user will be assigned.

For more information on what permissions are associated with a group, see User permissions associated with each group.
Click Save.

As a result, the user’s permissions are updated based on the groups to which you have assigned the user.

User permissions associated with each group

The Administrator in root workspace role refers to a user who is assigned to the Administrator group in your root workspace (the top-level workspace in your organization).
