[User Management](https://help.safelinkhub.com/managing-workspace-general?hsLang=en#user-management) # User Permissions ## The User Permissions page allows workspace managers to manage access rights for each member of the workspace. From here, you can view, grant, or remove specific permissions for individual users in one central place. ### How to Access User Permissions 1. Go to **Users & Groups.** 2. Select **User Permissions.** 3. A table showing all users and available permissions will be displayed ![](https://colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2026-04-22/70cf2c7c-50cc-4af5-8cb8-90fd4515fbc0/ascreenshot_089736ddd31c44d3adaba8c69d6ce9d7_text_export.jpeg)   --- ### Understanding the Table The table is organised as follows: - **Rows**: Each user in the workspace (listed alphabetically) - **Columns**: Available permissions that can be assigned - **Checkboxes**: Indicate whether a permission is enabled for a user --- ### Permission States **Checked (Enabled)** - The user has this permission - You may untick it to remove access **Unchecked (Disabled)** - The user does not have this permission - You may tick it to grant access **Greyed out (Locked)** - The permission is automatically granted via the user’s role - It cannot be changed individually - To remove it, you will need to assign a different role with fewer permissions --- ### How to Modify Permissions 1. Locate the user in the left-hand column 2. Find the relevant permission in the header row 3. Tick or untick the checkbox as required 4. Select **Save Permissions** at the bottom of the page --- ### Role-Based vs Individual Permissions **Role-Based Permissions (Greyed out)** - Assigned automatically based on the user’s role - Cannot be edited individually - To change them, update the user’s role **Individual Permissions (Editable)** - Can be granted or removed manually - Can extend or restrict role-based access - Useful for fine-tuning user capabilities --- ### Tips - **Greyed-out permissions** come from the user’s role and cannot be changed individually - You can make multiple changes before selecting **Save Permissions**       - [Getting Started](https://help.safelinkhub.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) -
