View source for Template:VALT 5.6 Permissions - Specifications

{{Section | title = <h1>Users & Groups</h1> | content =
At the core of our permission structure, the majority of access permissions are defined at the "user group" level. By establishing permission settings at this level, you can streamline the management process and ensure consistent access controls for users within the same group. Permissions defined at the "user group" level are automatically inherited by the individual "users" assigned to those groups, simplifying the administration of permissions.

In addition to the group-level permissions, our software allows for further customization at the individual "user" level. This means that specific access permissions can be fine-tuned to cater to unique requirements, providing an extra layer of control over user privileges.

To illustrate the extensive range of customizable permissions within the VALT software, please refer to the matrix below:
