You can assign permissions to a new user or group, and can modify those permissions at a later time. The
following basic guidelines outline permission access:
• If you do not set any permissions for a user and you have assigned the user to a group, then that group’s
permissions are inherited.
• If a user that has no permissions assigned is not part of a group, then that user is denied any access.
• If you set many of the permissions for a user, but leave some unspecified, the group’s settings are used
for those permissions that were unspecified for the user. If those permissions are also unspecified for
the group, or the user does not belong to a group, then those types of access are denied.
• If a user’s permission and their group’s permission disagree, then the user’s permission is accepted.
Note If you have specified a permission for a user, then that overrides the group permission.
