Recommended Process

When adding new users, we recommend creating Roles and then adding users to those roles. If you need to change the permissions for a particular group of users it’s easier to make the change at Role level. The changes will then apply to all users who have been assigned to the relevant role.

What if I need users with a particular role to have different permissions?

Even though users have been assigned to a role and will automatically inherit the specified permissions for the role you can still add or remove permissions for individual users.
