User Capabilities

Company > Users > Users > Capabilities

The User Capabilities screen grants specific Capabilities to individual user accounts. Capabilities added on this screen are added to the capabilities of the user's role. For example, granting the View Ranker capability gives the user access to the Ranker report, even if that user's role does not have the capability. Other users in the same role will not have permission to see the report.

Important: Capabilities should be assigned to Roles, though in special cases they can be assigned to specific accounts (not best practice) on this screen.

See Roles, permissions, and capabilities for a complete discussion of access control and these settings.
