Role Based Permissions
You have the option of creating and setting Permission Roles for users. The permissions associated with that role are kept in sync across all users that have that role assigned to them

How to add a New Role Based Permission option
Select the Cog icon from the top toolbar, then select "Security"

From the Security page > select the Roles tab > Then the "+ Add Role" button.

The pop-up will allow you to name your Role, provide a description and define the permissions users who have this role should be granted by selecting the checkbox
next to permission.

Note: the blue icon next to a permission title, when selected, will provide more detail as to what permission will be granted to a user.

To set a user to use roles, edit their permissions on their user profile (Actions button > Manage permissions.

Then, choose "Role Based" for the Access field. Select as many roles as you want to grant them. Underneath, you will be able to see the resulting permissions the user will have.

** The system will merge all the permissions and access rights for the chosen roles (choosing the highest access where there may be a conflict).

NOTES:

Editing the "Role" will then also edit someone's permissions as well.
