Creating User Overrides for Spaces

You can create an override for an individual user of a space.

Create a user override to grant a particular set of permissions to an individual. You might need to create an override if:
  • A person requires a particular set of permissions for a place, but isn't (and shouldn't be) a member of a permissions user group to which you've already assigned permissions for the place.
  • A person is a member of a permissions user group to which you've assigned permissions for a place, but the person requires a different set of permissions than those received as a member of the place -- in other words, the person is an exception to the rule. For example, you might want to separately define the person's permissions to enhance or limit their access in the place.

Use the following steps to create a user override on the permissions page you're
 editing:

  1. Under User Overrides, click Create a user override.
  2. In the box, start typing the name of the user for whom you want to set the
 override. Click the user's name when you see it show up.
  3. Click the Set exception button to view the permissions you can set.
  4. In the Set Exception dialog, select the access and content type permissions.
  5. Click Save.
