Every permission explained

This is the full list of permissions you can tick on a role, grouped the same way as on the role page. Each one is shown by the name you'll see in Roles & permissions, with what it lets someone do and the sidebar links it shows.

The One department column says whether the permission can be limited to a department, with a department role or a rank. "No" means it only works community-wide. See Limit a permission to one department.

A few things apply to every permission:

The owner and administrators always have every permission.
Module permissions are listed even if the module isn't installed. They do nothing until it is.
Someone with any role, or a rank with permissions, can open your control panel. They see only the sidebar links their permissions allow.

Something not working?#

Someone has the permission but can't see the page. Check the module is installed, and for CAD pages, that the feature is turned on in the CAD settings. If the permission comes from a rank, check their status in that department is Active, In training or Leave of absence.

A permission is greyed out on a role. Either you don't have it yourself, or the role is limited to a department and the permission is community-wide only. See Create a role and choose what it can do.
