At the core of our permission structure, the {{Mark | text = majority of access is defined at the group level}}. By establishing permission settings at this level, you can streamline management and ensure consistent access controls for users within the same group.

{{Manual lvl 3 | title = Users | content =

Rights defined at the group level are automatically inherited by the individual users assigned to those groups, simplifying the administration of rights.

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