Manage specific permissions
---------------------------
While access rights are typically assigned in bundles under specific roles, they can also be set as
explicit permissions.
.. example::
For example, giving a user the :guilabel:`Administrator` permission for **Timesheets**
gives them full access to that app. That user, while holding full access, can *still* have their
ability to manage *their own* timesheets restricted — such as in the case of a salaried payroll
administrator who does not need to track time.
To manage specific permissions, :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>` must be enabled.
After that, navigate to the :menuselection:`Settings` app. Then click :guilabel:`Manage Users`,
select a user, and go to the :guilabel:`Technical Access Rights` tab. From here, :guilabel:`Groups`
can be edited, and specific access rights can be managed across the various sections. If no changes
are made to these groups, then their permissions will mirror the selections made in the
:guilabel:`Access Rights` tab.
- :guilabel:`Selected groups`: a list of detailed access rights, set by choices made in the
:guilabel:`Access Rights` tab.
- :guilabel:`Groups added automatically`: *implied* permissions that are *inherited* with the
explicit permissions already granted to the user. The values here will match the values listed
under a given *Group*'s form located under the :menuselection:`Users & Companies --> Groups` menu,
in the :guilabel:`Inherited` tab.

.. example::
When the *Sales Administrator* permission set is assigned to a user, then the *Canned Responses
Administrator* permissions are inherited automatically. These assignments are reflected across
the values listed in the :guilabel:`Selected Groups` and :guilabel:`Groups added automatically`
tables, respectively.
To add a permission to this user profile, click :guilabel:`Add a line` in the :guilabel:`Selected
groups` table, and then add permissions to this user profile. To remove a permission, click the
:icon:`fa-times` :guilabel:`(cancel)` at the end of that permission's row.
.. warning::
Removing permissions from the :guilabel:`Selected Groups` list can impact what permissions are
listed in the :guilabel:`Groups added automatically` list, since selected permission groups
inform what permission groups are added automatically.
Clicking on the permission itself will open a group management form. Learn more about :ref:`managing
groups <access-rights/groups>`.
Any permission in the :guilabel:`Groups added automatically` section are implied or required by the
permission shown in the :guilabel:`Selected groups` section. These cannot be removed, but more users
can be given these permissions by clicking on the permission itself, and then adding the user to
that permission's group.
.. note::
- Any permission in green is already provided by another permission (for example, setting the
:guilabel:`Website` app's permission to :guilabel:`Editor and Designer` will also give that
user the :guilabel:`Restricted Editor` permission).
- Any permissions in red are conflicting and cannot be active at the same time.
- Any permissions in *italics* is implied by a :guilabel:`Selected group` (these are usually
found in the :guilabel:`Groups added automatically`).
