Create user permissions

Read this to learn how to create custom user permissions that you can apply to Organizations in the Setup tab. 

Overview

User permissions define what app features are available to users of the MultiLine app. User permissions are set at the organization level and are inherited by any sub-organizations. If your sub-organization has an inherited user permission, you must edit the user permission at the level it was defined. 

Before you Start

  • An admin must have "Setup" Privilege in their Role in the organization to do these instructions.  See What Admin Privileges are in Management Portal?.
  • Default User Permissions will set permissions for users that are not part of a subgroup.

Create new custom permissions

  1. Go to the organization where you want to perform the action. 
  2. Go to the Setup tab and click User Permissions
  3. Click Add New.Screen Set Up User Permissions

  4. Check the box for a feature to permit it, or uncheck the box for a feature to disallow it.
