Are Group Permissions Applied to Individual User Accounts?

Objective:

  • How do Group Permissions affect User Permissions?
  • Do Group Permissions overwrite User Permissions?
  • Is there a Permissions hierarchy?

Environment:

  • Clio Web App

Additional Information:

If a User Account has access to a permissions set that their Group does not, they will not lose access to the permissions granted to them at the User level.

Answer:

Yes, any User within the Group will gain access to the enabled Group permissions.

There is no hierarchy or one set of permissions will overwrite the other; it is based on more-permissions, such as if there is permissions granted in User but not in Group, the user will still have that permission and vice versa.
